LANSING, MI.- Tonight, we’re highlighting several major federal prosecutions out of the Western District of Michigan, where U.S. Attorneys and federal agents continue targeting violent crime, large-scale drug trafficking, firearms offenses, child exploitation, and complex financial fraud. Recent cases have included fentanyl and methamphetamine distribution rings dismantled through multi-agency task forces, felons convicted of unlawful firearm possession following high-speed chases and armed confrontations, defendants sentenced in child exploitation investigations initiated through national cyber-tip referrals, and white-collar offenders held accountable for wire fraud and pandemic-related financial crimes. Federal authorities say these cases reflect an ongoing focus on protecting communities across Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, and beyond through coordinated enforcement and prosecution.
