Carson was charged Friday (May 12) with possession with intent to distribute more than 450g, less than 999g of fentanyl (30-year felony), possession with intent to distribute more than 50g, less than 450g of cocaine (20-year felony) delivery of cocaine (20-year felony) and three counts of felony firearm (two-year mandatory felony) and maintaining a drug house (two-year misdemeanor).
“The defendant’s actions represent a clear and present danger to our community,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido. “Not only was this man peddling large quantities of dangerous drugs, but he was also running a drug house, creating a breeding ground for criminal activity. Thank you to the Warren Police Department for their hard work in taking this man off the streets.”
The 41-year-old man was given a one million dollar bond. His probable cause hearing is scheduled for Thursday (May 25) at 9:30 a.m., and the preliminary exam is scheduled for Thursday (June 1) at 9:30 a.m.
