KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Five defendants, including four from the
Kansas City, Mo., metropolitan area, have been indicted for their roles in a
$770,000 drug-trafficking conspiracy.
David Brian Greiner, also known as “Abel,” 54, Stephanie
Marie Marquez, 46, and Howard Tyrone Neely, 36, all of Kansas City, Mo., Cathy
Lynn Clark-Walskie, 43, of Kansas City, Kan.; and Tyree Laron West, also known
as “Mad Max,” “Dirty,” “Chipper,” and “Hitman,” 40, of Houston, Texas; were
charged in a five-count indictment returned under seal by a federal grand jury
in Kansas City, Mo., on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2018. That indictment was unsealed
and made public yesterday upon the arrests of Greiner and Marquez.
The federal indictment alleges that Greiner, Marquez, Neely,
Clark-Walskie and West participated in a conspiracy to distribute heroin, PCP,
methamphetamine and crack cocaine from Jan. 1, 2016, to Dec. 12, 2018.
According to the indictment, they obtained approximately $770,000 in exchange
for the unlawful distribution of more than 45 kilograms of methamphetamine at
$6,000 a pound, 24 gallons of PCP at $300 an ounce, 25 ounces of heroin at
$1,200 an ounce and 11 ounces of crack cocaine at $100 a gram.
Greiner, Marquez, Neely and West are also charged together
in one count of possessing and using firearms in furtherance of violent crimes
and drug-trafficking crimes. They allegedly were in possession of a loaded
Berretta .40-caliber semi-automatic handgun, a CZ 75 .40-caliber semi-automatic
pistol with magazine and ammunition, a Glock .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol
with magazine and ammunition, a Heritage .22-caliber revolver and ammunition,
and a Remington sawed-off shotgun.
Greiner, Neely and West are also charged together in one
count of being felons in possession of firearms and ammunition.
The federal indictment alleges that Greiner, Marquez, Neely,
Clark-Walskie and West participated in a money-laundering conspiracy to use
drug sale proceeds to promote the drug-trafficking conspiracy and to conceal
drug sale proceeds of that drug trafficking conspiracy.
The indictment also contains a forfeiture allegation, which
would require all five co-defendants to forfeit to the government any property
derived from the proceeds of the alleged offenses, including a money judgment
of $770,000.
The charges contained in this indictment are simply
accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be
presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or
innocence.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney
Bruce Rhoades. It was investigated by the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department
and the FBI.
