United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a
Lancaster, California, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for
Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance.
Bryan Howard, a/k/a Chase Profit, age 30, was indicted on
March 12, 2019. He appeared before U.S.
Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on June 10, 2019, and pled not guilty to the
Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to life in federal
prison and/or a $10,000,000 fine, up to life of supervised release, and $100 to

or more of methamphetamine in South Dakota.
The charge is merely an accusation and Howard is presumed
innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Howard was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals
Service pending trial. A jury trial has
been set for August 13, 2019.
