"As alleged, the defendant brazenly trafficked firearms and deadly drugs to the streets of Brooklyn, feeding the cycle of gun violence and drug abuse endangering our community," said Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
According to the indictment and court documents, Charles personally conducted firearms sales to an undercover law enforcement officer in and around New York City Housing Authority's Breukelen Houses in Canarsie. Transactions also took place outside apartment buildings and in shopping center parking lots in broad daylight. Several guns were purchased in Virginia and Georgia and transported to New York. In addition to firearm sales, including semiautomatic rifles, Charles sold drugs, including crack cocaine and fentanyl. The fentanyl allegedly sold by the defendant was disguised as Oxycodone pills.
