District Drug Dealer Sentenced to 121 Months in Federal Prison for PCP Trafficking

WASHINGTON - Norman Morris, 45, a career drug dealer residing in the District of Columbia, was sentenced today to 121 months in prison for his role in a drug trafficking operation that distributed PCP and fentanyl in the District, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

Morris, aka "Fibble," was found guilty by a federal jury on June 3, 2025, of one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute phencyclidine (PCP). In addition to the 121-month prison term Judge Dabney L. Friedrich ordered Morris to serve three years of supervised release. Federal prosecutors had requested a prison term of 240 months.

"Norman Morris helped fuel the distribution of dangerous narcotics, including PCP and fentanyl, throughout the District of Columbia for years. Today's sentence sends a clear message that individuals who profit from poisoning our communities will be held accountable," said U.S. Attorney Pirro. "I commend the DEA and FBI for their relentless work dismantling this trafficking operation and helping make our neighborhoods safer."

According to court documents and testimony at trial, the DEA and the FBI began a criminal investigation in September 2023 of local PCP and fentanyl distributors, a group that included Morris and co-defendants Lamont M. Langston, Kelvin Sanker, and Jamar Bennett.

Morris conducted drug transactions outside of the residence he shared with his mother on the 200 block of 58th Street NE, Washington, DC. One regular customer of the Morris's testified that Morris sold him fentanyl "pretty much daily" for an extended period going back to the pandemic. The transactions were monitored by law enforcement from November 2023 to March 2024. During this same period, Bennett and Langston were observed meeting at Morris's residence to exchange suspected narcotics and cash.

During the investigation, Bennett sold more than two kilograms of PCP to undercover officers over the course of nine transactions. The PCP was supplied by Langston and was stored and prepared by Sanker at Sanker's home. Morris also retrieved 32 ounces of PCP from Sanker at the request of Langston after Langston was arrested with PCP and two firearms. Sixteen ounces of the PCP retrieved by Morris was sold to an undercover officer by Bennett.

Morris has several prior drug convictions for distribution, possession with intent to distribute, and attempted distribution of cocaine and heroin. He also has a prior conviction for escape.

Bennett, 46, of the District, pleaded guilty Apr. 11, 2024, to conspiracy to distribute one kilogram or more of PCP and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and was also sentenced to 121 months in prison.

Sanker, 44, of the District, pleaded guilty Oct. 22, 2024, to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute PCP and was sentencing to 65 months in prison.

 Langston, 45, of the District, pleaded guilty Dec. 19, 2024, to conspiracy to distribute one kilogram or more of PCP and was sentenced to 138 months.

Joining U.S. Attorney Pirro in the announcement were DEA Special Agent in Charge Chris Goumenis of the Washington Division and FBI Assistant Director in Charge Darren B. Cox of the Washington Field Office.

This case was investigated by the FBI's Washington Field Office, DEA's Washington Division, and the Metropolitan Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter V. Roman and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Stempel.
