Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz
sentenced Michael Anthony McLeod age 31, of Baltimore, Maryland today to 100 months
in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possession with
intent to distribute crack cocaine.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the
District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge William P. McMullan
of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field
Division; Commissioner Anthony W. Batts of the Baltimore Police Department; and

According to McLeod’s plea agreement, on September 13, 2013,
Baltimore City police officers executed a search warrant at McLeod’s home. McLeod was in the home when officers
arrived. Officers recovered: a baggie
