New York trucking company owner arrested after drugs and assault rifles seized by FBI and IRS during raid: Report

Federal agents arrested a trucking company owner after weapons and drugs were seized from four different Long Island locations as part of a raid, according to a report.

On September 9, 2025, Kingsley McDonald, owner of McDonald Logistics Inc., was arrested and charged with conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute 400 or more grams of fentanyl and with distributing and possessing with intent to distribute 40 or more grams of fentanyl.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York told Patch.com that a search warrant served at a storage facility located in Farmingdale, New York, uncovered 5 kilograms of fentanyl, plastic bags containing about 1 kilogram of additional controlled substances, an AK-47 assault rifle, an AR-15 assault rifle, a .357 caliber revolver, quantities of firearm ammunition, a kilogram press, and about 15 grams of marijuana.

Additionally, as a result of search warrants served at three other of residences and storage facilities associated with McDonald, the FBI, IRS, and local police seized 350 grams of cocaine at one location, 400 grams of cocaine and about 100 grams of fentanyl at another location, and a .22 caliber firearm at yet another location.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said that between September 2023 and September 2025, McDonald conspired with others to distribute fentanyl:

“… as established by recorded controlled purchases of fentanyl from the defendant, which were conducted on multiple occasions within approximately the last five months, the defendant personally sold more than 570 grams of controlled substances, which laboratory analysis confirmed contained fentanyl, at locations in Suffolk County. Each of the defendant’s sales involved quantities of fentanyl well in excess of 40 grams. Notably, just 2 milligrams of fentanyl is sufficient to cause a deadly overdose.

In addition to this overwhelming evidence of the defendant’s fentanyl and other controlled substances trafficking operation, a review of cellular telephone communications seized from the defendant’s iCloud accounts pursuant to a search warrant issued by the Honorable James M. Wicks in July 2025, showed that, within approximately the last year, the defendant regularly engaged in communications with controlled substances sales customers and that, in addition, to quantities of fentanyl, the defendant also sold quantities of Adderall and oxycodone.“
