Houston man indicted in Fayetteville for selling drugs
RALEIGH, NC (WWAY) — A federal grand jury indicted a man for selling designer drugs and shipping them from post offices in Fayetteville.
Miqual Antwan Dysheen Spivey, 27, owned and operated Bummy Legion, a Texas company that sells liquids intended for electronic vaporizers.
The indictment alleges that Spivey sold Bummy Legion’s vape juices through the company’s website and shipped them from post offices in Fayetteville. The website marked the liquid as derived from organic blue lotus and valerian root, but allegedly the true active ingredient was the synthetic cannabinoid MDMB-4en-PINACA.
Spivey was also indicted on ten separate violations of money laundering, each representing a transaction of over $10,000. Those transactions ranged in value from $11,324.75 to $233,779.84. Other information presented in court indicates that Spivey made nearly $5 million through online sales of Bummy Legion vape juices in the two years since PINACA was placed on Schedule I.
The search warrants resulted in the seizure of four guns, 715 gallons of suspect liquid PINACA, and about $40,000 US currency.
Spivey is charged with conspiracy to sell and possess with intent to distribute a schedule I controlled substance, seven counts of selling a schedule I controlled substance, and ten counts of engaging in monetary transactions of a value over $10,000 with the proceeds of a specified unlawful activity.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each drug offense and a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for each money-laundering offense.
The investigation is ongoing.
