Duncan possessed with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine mixture and 400 grams or more of fentanyl mixture. Duncan is also charged with possessing a .38 caliber revolver in furtherance of his drug trafficking. In addition to the revolver, Duncan also possessed a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol, a .380 caliber semiautomatic pistol, and a.40 caliber semiautomatic pistol.
