An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Secret Service, and the Pasco Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Samantha E. Beckman will prosecute it. Assistant United States Attorney James Muench is handling the forfeiture.
