V. Case No. 1:24-cr-235 (CMH)
ARTHUR HILL CARTER,

Defendant.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

ANDBIA, VIRGINIA

The United States and the defendant, ARTHUR HILL CARTER, agree that at trial, the

United States would have proven the following facts beyond a reasonable doubt with admissible

and credible evidence:

l. On or about June 26, 2024, the Fairfax Country Police Department executed a

state search warrant at the residence of the defendant, ARTHUR HILL CARTER, which was

located in Annandale, Virginia, within the Eastern District of Virginia.

2s The search warrant was based upon a pin hole camera which recorded the

defendant selling fentanyl from the same apartment in the days and weeks preceding the

warrant’s execution. The apartment was leased to the defendant and he answered the

apartment door when law enforcement knocked and announced the execution of the warrant.

3 Law enforcement officers seized from the defendant’s apartment the following

items:

a. 14.92 grams of cocaine, a Schedule II controlled substance;

b. 189 pills of N-phenyl-N- [ 1- (2-phenylethyl ) -4-piperidinyl ] propanamide

(more commonly known as fentanyl), a Schedule II controlled substance;

Cc. a Glock 19 GENS 9mm pistol bearing serial number BRXF576;

d. an American Tactical unknown caliber rifle with an obliterated serial
number;

e. an ABC Rifle Company AB9M unknown caliber rifle bearing serial number
AB9M-0094;

f. a Geisler Combat 19 9mm privately made firearm lacking a serial number
with a magazine holding rounds of ammunition engaged; and

g. a total of $2,008 in U.S. currency.

4. Each of the firearms listed in the preceding paragraph were shipped and
transported in interstate and/or foreign commerce. The defendant’s knowing possession of
firearms was in furtherance of his drug trafficking insofar as he possessed firearms to protect
himself and his drug proceeds.

5. This statement of facts includes those facts necessary to support the plea agreement
between the defendant and the United States. It does not include each and every fact known to
the defendant or to the United States, and it is not intended to be a full enumeration of all of the
facts surrounding the defendant’s case.

6. The actions of the defendant, as recounted above, were in all respects knowing and

deliberate, and were not committed by mistake, accident, or other innocent reason.

Respectfully submitted,

Erik S. Siebert
United States Attorney
