Memphis Man Indicted for Distributing Fentanyl Which Caused Three Fatal Overdoses
Memphis, TN – Joseph C. Murphy, Jr., Interim United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, announced the indictment of Darian Glover, 28. Glover has been arrested and charged with distributing fentanyl which caused the deaths of three people. This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Collierville Police Department.
“Our hearts go out to the victims’ families in this tragic case,” said Special Agent in Charge Jim Scott, head of DEA’s Louisville Division. “Fentanyl is a scourge plaguing America, and the dedicated men and women of the Drug Enforcement Administration will stop at nothing to rid this poison from our communities.”
“We appreciate the partnership we have with the DEA,” said Chief Dale Lane of the Collierville Police Department. “It is vitally important that law enforcement organizations work together to interdict illegal fentanyl, disrupt supply chains, and hold those accountable for distributing this deadly drug.”
On April 10, 2025, a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Glover. The indictment alleges that on or about June 21, 2024, Glover distributed fentanyl that resulted in the deaths of three people. If convicted, Glover faces a term of federal imprisonment of not less than 20 years and not more than life. There is no parole in the federal system.
In addition, Glover can be fined up to $1,000,000 and sentenced to a term of supervised release of at least three years after his time in custody.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Wendy K. Cornejo.
The charges and allegations contained in the indictment are merely accusations of criminal conduct, not evidence. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of law. If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after review of the factors unique to the case, including the defendant’s prior criminal records (if any), the defendant’s role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation.
