Federal court hands down five-year sentence for Norfolk man in drug trafficking case
Norfolk, Virginia – A Norfolk resident, Adam Donley Greenberg, also known as Adam Brandon, has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute and possess methamphetamine. The sentencing follows an investigation revealing his involvement in a drug distribution operation between Virginia and Georgia.
Details of the Drug Distribution Scheme
Between June 2020 and January 2021, Greenberg, 39, worked with Michael Wade Kozak, 57, of the Atlanta area, to obtain methamphetamine for redistribution in Virginia. Kozak used FedEx to ship packages of methamphetamine from Georgia to Greenberg, while Greenberg utilized Cash App and other payment methods to send money to Kozak. Their communications and shipment arrangements were coordinated through a social media app.
On November 11, 2020, Greenberg received a methamphetamine package from Kozak at an apartment in Norfolk. Days later, on November 14, Chesapeake Police Department narcotics detectives arrested Greenberg on an outstanding warrant at a Norfolk hotel room where he was staying with several individuals. During a search of the room, officers uncovered 85.24 grams of methamphetamine concealed behind a wall painting.
Announcement and Prosecution
Jessica D. Aber, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, along with Derek W. Gordon, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Washington, D.C., and Chesapeake Police Chief Mark G. Solesky, announced the sentencing, which was delivered by U.S. District Judge Arenda Wright Allen.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Darryl J. Mitchell. This sentencing highlights ongoing efforts by federal and local authorities to dismantle drug trafficking operations and protect the community from dangerous substances like methamphetamine.
