does anybody have access to federal criminal court records?


Recommended Posts

I know a guy that  was arrested a couple of years ago, and I'm curious as to what's going on with his case.  

Dude was a Homeland Security agent and is accused of skimming a whole shitload of seized drug money.  

Feel a bit weird posting his name, but I'll do it anyway. First name Tyrone

 

Last name (*'s included to try to thwart google)

D * U * R * E * N

 

Google searches only come up with the stories of his arrest.

What you need is access to PACER.  You can sign up for it yourself.https://www.pacer.gov  The service itself is free, but downloading documents will cost you a little something per page, just enough that a shaghole probably won't download anything for you.

 

News reports say he was indicted and freed on bail along with his wife (that is somewhat unusual, as the federal system tends to frown on bail, especially for anyone charged with a "serious" crime that has any imaginable tendency to flee, like a border patrol agent).  This was in late '16/early '17.

 

There probably isn't a lot to see on the criminal docket, any juicy stuff is probably under seal and the rest is going to be fairly routine.  It is fairly possible that he is "cooperating" and a plea deal is pending his cooperation, which would draw it out that long, but there could be a multitude of other reasons it's drawn out that long, which isn't that long in the grand scheme of things.  Or, it could be like Freamon, McNulty, Levy & Co. at the end of The Wire: shit got embarrassing for the gubmint so they shut it down.

Follow up on the OP:

 

 

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Today, Tyrone Cedric Duren, 50, of Bonsall, California was sentenced by Judge John A. Houston to 130 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. The court also ordered the forfeiture of Duren’s primary residence, a money judgment of $275,000, and restitution to the Internal Revenue Service. Duren previously pleaded guilty to 19 counts including charges of money laundering, making false statements, and tax evasion.

While working as a federal agent specializing in the investigation of bulk cash smuggling, Duren stole money from individuals smuggling drug proceeds to Mexico. Duren then laundered those funds by depositing them into personal and business accounts, and used the stolen cash for personal purchases. Over several years, Duren used his position as a federal agent to place GPS trackers on vehicles used to transport proceeds from drug sales. Duren then took some of the drug money after it was seized, laundered it into his own accounts, and spent it on real estate and international travel.

For example, during a July 2013 traffic stop, Duren stole money concealed in the hidden compartment of a vehicle on which he had previously placed a GPS tracker. In March 2014, Duren was tracking a vehicle he suspected to be loaded with cash as it headed toward Mexico. The vehicle was stopped and searched at a Border Patrol Checkpoint and found to contain a large amount of cash concealed in laundry detergent boxes. Duren took custody of the seized cash, but before putting it into evidence, Duren took over $100,000 for himself. He later admitted that he deposited the stolen money into business and personal accounts to conceal those thefts. Duren then failed to file taxes for 2013 to further hide his theft. Duren also lied numerous times to agents who were investigating his crimes.

Agents from the Department of Homeland Security-Office of Inspector General, Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Office of Professional Responsibility and Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection-Office of Professional Responsibility, and the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations conducted this investigation. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California is recused. Assistant United States Attorneys Kevin Rapp, Abbie Broughton Marsh, and Mark Wenker of the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona prosecuted this case.

There's supposedly a fed joint in Arizona that's all p.c. cases,  like child molesters,  ex cops, trans,  and all the cases that can't walk a normal yard. 

 

It's probably a real sweet joint

No, he'll be going to Federal Pound Me in the Ass Prison.

I doubt that.  As soon as someone finds out he was in that position he'll get green lighted immediately. 

There was an ex rampart cop at a fed joint in Illinois that got jumped on by every LA ese in the joint when they found out.

People are really bad at money laundering. That guy had a good scam going if he had half a brain. Or at least until the cartels found out and murdered his family.

Yeah,  and now the cartels are going to have his ass green lighted,  and every surreño gang will be hunting him
