Cleveland man indicted for mailing two kilograms of methamphetamine and nearly two kilograms of cocaine from California to Beachwood

A Cleveland man was indicted for mailing two kilograms of methamphetamine and nearly two kilograms of cocaine from California to Beachwood in 2017.

Corey Brown, 29, was indicted on one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances.

Brown worked with Devon Williams, Marquacia Deshawn Morris and others between June and September 2017 to distribute approximately 2214 grams of methamphetamine and 1974 grams of cocaine, according to the indictment.

Brown shipped parcels containing the drugs via U.S. Mail. Morris accepted and diverted the drug parcels to Williams, who accepted and transported them, according to the indictment.

Williams, of Richmond Heights, is currently serving a sentence of 15 years in federal prison. Morris, a former postal carrier who lived in Woodmere, is currently serving a sentence of more than eight years in prison.

If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after a review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violations.  In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and, in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, with assistance from the Willoughby Hills Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Seabury Gould.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt.  A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
