Queen is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. According to court documents, investigators conducted multiple vehicle and property searches, uncovering fentanyl stamps, fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, and other
controlled substances, as well as several firearms. Queen is prohibited from having firearms because of a prior firearms conviction in the Northern District of West Virginia.

Queen faces up to 10 years in federal prison for the firearms charge and faces up to 20 years for the drug charge. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Parsons is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Greater Harrison Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative. The Bridgeport Police Department have members on the Task Force.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and each defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
