The female leader of a marijuana trafficking organisation has been sentenced to life in prison.
Jean Brown, a 43-year-old Jamaican woman, was sentenced Friday for murder in aid of racketeering. Officials with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) unit say Brown is one of the leaders of the Brown Organization – a criminal organization whose members distributed narcotics in primarily in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and Jamaica.
“Today’s life sentence of Jean Brown for her drug conspiracy, kidnapping and murder in aid of racketeering is a victory for HSI special agents, who since 2009 have been investigating the Jean Brown drug trafficking organization, which spanned five states and two countries. HSI special agents have seized approximately 100 pounds of marijuana, $853,000 in cash and bank accounts and six firearms from these co-conspirators, who used intimidation and violence to further their criminal activities,” said William Winter, special agent in charge of HSI Baltimore. “HSI will continue working with our law enforcement partners to investigate and ultimately dismantle criminal organizations that are wreaking violence in our communities through the illicit drug trade.”
