U.S. Attorney Dena King

Being U.S. Attorney is an incredible job. It’s been an honor and a privilege to have served in this role and I will always be incredibly thankful for the opportunity.

Thank you @shevaun_bryan with @WBTV_News for my final interview as US Attorney: wbtv.com/video/2025/02/…

Machinegun Conversion Devices (MCDs) are illegal and the consequences of selling or possessing one can be serious. They are a threat to the community and ATF is committed to keeping them off our streets. With @USAO_WDNC. justice.gov/usao-wdnc/pr/c…

Be careful what you ask for. This defendant advertised Glock switches for sale on social media by saying “Go fed or go home.”  Well, now he’s gone fed…to federal prison.

This fentanyl distributor was sentenced to federal prison for selling fentanyl from his home for years. We will continue pursuing those distributing these dangerous drugs in our communities.

The defendant used the stolen money to fund his lavish lifestyle. Now he’s been sentenced to 40 months in prison followed by supervised release for this fraud.

Stealing money from elderly individuals is a despicable crime. This sentence sends a clear message that fraudsters who target and exploit older adults for financial gain will be brought to justice.

Two armed carjackings in 11 days. The defendant shot and seriously injured one of the victims. We will continue to prioritize violent crime.

Such an honor to be the keynote speaker at the Union County Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Annual Prayer Breakfast. As we continue to honor his legacy everyday, may we be reminded of his words, “the time is always right, to do what is right.”

Thank you for your service, Mr. Attorney General!

Federal prosecutors put the “brakes” on this Charlotte car theft criminal ring. After stealing 100+ high-end vehicles nationwide the next stop for these four defendants is federal prison. Thanks @HSI_Charlotte @FBICharlotte @CMPD for this team effort!

Today we joined the State of North Carolina in filing a False Claims Act complaint against a durable medical equipment supplier.
