Press Release

An investigation by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) has shut down a significant drug supply line operating out of Norman.  OBN Spokesman Mark Woodward says Agents executed a Search Warrant on Wednesday, January 27th, 2021 at a home in east Norman tied to an individual responsible for moving large quantities of drugs onto the streets. 

“The target of this investigation was trafficking and selling a variety of extremely dangerous drugs around central Oklahoma.  Not only was he distributing cocaine, marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms, but also selling what appeared to be counterfeit Xanax and Ecstasy pills which we frequently discover have been boosted with the potentially deadly drug, Fentanyl.”  ---Mark Woodward, OBN Spokesman

During the Search Warrant, Woodward says Agents seized 134 grams of Cocaine, 561 grams of Psilocybin Mushrooms, 705 grams of Marijuana, 1,278 Adderall pills, and 4,262 suspected counterfeit Xanax and Ecstasy pills.  Agents also seized 5 Rifles and 12 Handguns inside the home.

“I am proud of the hard work and long hours our Agents put into this investigation.  In 2019, Oklahoma reached a grim record of 893 fatal drug overdoses.  Many of these deaths are linked to counterfeit pills and I’m thankful we were able to halt this supplier before more of these drugs could reach the streets.”  ---OBN Director Donnie Anderson 

OBN Agents arrested 24-year old Dionte Allen (DOB 7/16/96).  Allen was transported and booked into the Cleveland County Detention Center where he faces a variety of charges including Drug Trafficking and Drug Distribution.
