Memphis Gang Member and Convicted Felon Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison for Possessing a Firearm

Memphis, TN - Cordney Campbell, 25, also known as "Moo Slime", of Memphis, was sentenced to serve 5 years in federal prison for possessing a firearm while being a convicted felon. D. Michael Dunavant, United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, announced the sentence today.

According to the indictment returned by a federal grand jury in May 2025, Campbell possessed a firearm and a small amount of narcotics when encountered by police in January of the same year. Campbell pled guilty in October 2025 to a charge of being a prohibited person in unlawful possession of a firearm.

In January 2025, officers with the Memphis Police Department responded to a shots-fired call on Crockett Place. There they encountered Campbell and another man and found Campbell in possession of a firearm and a small amount of narcotics. Campbell was convicted in 2022 for selling crack cocaine on Crockett Place in 2021. Crockett Place is a street in the Smokey City neighborhood of Memphis.

Campbell is an identified member of the Memphis hybrid street gang, the Eric Bizzle Gang or EBG, and had also been identified by the Memphis Police Department as an Aggravated Assault Prolific Offender under an initiative that allows investigators to focus on the most violent criminals responsible for gun violence.

On February 24, 2026, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas L. Parker sentenced Campbell to 60 months in federal prison. There is no parole in the federal system.

At the time of his January 2025 arrest, Campbell was serving a Supervised Release term of five years for a 2022 distribution of crack cocaine conviction, also from the Western District of Tennessee. Campbell was also found to have violated the terms of his Supervised Release, which resulted in a six-month sentence that will be served consecutively to his 60-month sentence.

U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant said, "The citizens of Smokey City deserve to feel safe in their neighborhood, and addressing crime on Crockett Place is a key component to meeting that goal. 'Moo Slime' will now do more time, and Memphis is a safer place without him in it."

This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Memphis Police Department (MPD).

Assistant United States Attorney Neal Oldham prosecuted the case and the violation of supervised release on behalf of the government.
