United States of America v. Porfirio Jimenez-Arizmendi
Case Number: 22-cr-60
Judge: Maryellen Noreika
Court: United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Wilmington County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: United States Attorney’s Office in Wilmington
Defendant's Attorney: Jeremy Ibrahim
Description: Wilmington, Delaware criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant charged with being an unlawful alien in possession of a firearm and for distribution of methamphetamine.
on February 18, 2021, Jimenez-Arizmendi sold approximately 9 ounces of crystal methamphetamine, with an approximate 97% purity, for $9,000. During his arrest for that crime, officers recovered a semiautomatic pistol and seven rounds of ammunition in the pocket of a jacket found on the front passenger seat of the car Jimenez-Arizmendi was driving.
U.S. Attorney Weiss stated, “On a daily basis law enforcement and our communities face the consequences of a gun and drug epidemic. Today’s sentence holds Mr. Jimenez-Arizmendi accountable for his dangerous and illegal behavior.
“Jimenez-Arizmendi sold multi-ounce quantities of extremely pure methamphetamine, which is an illicit stimulant drug that has had a devastating effect on our community,” said Thomas Hodnett, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Philadelphia Field Division. “Jimenez-Arimendi will justifiably face deportation once his federal prison sentence is done.”
The case was investigated by the Delaware State Police and the DEA and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edmond Falgowski.
Outcome: Defendant was sentenced to 96 months, followed by three years of supervised release and was assessed $100.00.
