Malden Man Pleads Guilty After Selling Drugs To Undercover Cop

MALDEN, MA — A Malden man pleaded guilty to charges in connection with a drug trafficking enterprise, through which he and his accomplices sold cocaine to an undercover cop, the U.S. Attorney's office said.

Dhamari Jordan, 20, known as "DMO" and "DMO Crashout," was recorded selling fentanyl, cocaine and cocaine base to an undercover officer three times in January, federal authorities said.

Jordan was already on pretrial release for a 2019 firearms case in Cambridge District Court, the USAO said. A loaded 9mm gun was found in Jordan's home when he was arrested in February, and he also admitted Tuesday to participating in a series of shootings targeting rival gang members in Somerville in 2019, federal authorities said.

Jordan pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and one count of conspiracy to possess firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

He is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 13.
