Jamaican jailed for drug charges, illegal entry into the US

By Prince Moore 
 
The United States' Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) agency says a Jamaican national and felon, apprehended by ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations Baltimore, has been jailed for seven years followed by five years of supervised release for drug charges and illegal re-entry into the United States.
 
ICE said Norman Moore, also known as Lynn Brown, received the sentence in the US District Court of Maryland.
 
He was sentenced for conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine, and for illegally re-entering the US, having been previously removed.
 
Additionally, ICE said Moore has a previous conviction for conspiracy to distribute marijuana in June 1997.
 
Field Office Director of ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations Baltimore, Lyle Boelens says Moore has a history of drug convictions and unlawfully entering the US to conduct criminal activities.  
 
ICE said Moore initially entered the US on an unknown date, at an unknown location, and without having been inspected or admitted by an immigration official.
 
It said Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers first encountered Moore when he was serving a 70-month prison sentence in Allenwood Federal Correctional Complex in Allenwood, Pennsylvania.
 
ICE said Moore, who had been convicted of conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, admitted to ERO officers that he had unlawfully entered the US.
 
In June 1998, ICE said ERO Philadelphia served Moore with a final administrative removal order.
 
ERO Boston removed Moore from the US to Jamaica upon the completion of his incarceration in April 2002.
 
But ICE said Moore unlawfully re-entered the US.
