to knowingly, intentionally, and without authority, manufacture, distribute, and possess with 

intent to distribute methcathinone, a Schedule I controlled substance, in violation of Title 21, 

United States Code, Section 846. 

OBJECTS OF THE CONSPIRACY 

The objects of the conspiracy were to obtain methcathinone, secure monetary profits and 

satisfy controlled substance addictions by successfully collecting precursor chemicals and 

equipment used in the manufacture of methcathinone, manufacturing or “cooking” 

methcathinone, and distributing methcathinone without being detected or apprehended by law 

enforcement. 

MANNER AND MEANS 

1. It was part of the conspiracy that from January 2007 through May 2009, 

DEBORAH PHILLIPS, aka “Debbie,” “Deborah Braden,” “Deborah Crabtree,” “Deborah C. 

Daugherty,” utilized numerous co-conspirators to conduct a “smurfing” operation wherein she 

would instruct these individuals to travel to various business locations throughout the Eastern 

District of Tennessee to procure pseudoephedrine and equipment for the manufacture of 

methcathinone and return these items to her and others, so she could then “cook” large amounts 

2 


of methcathinone at various locations throughout the Eastern District of Tennessee. This 

“smurfing” operation was designed to procure small amounts of precursor chemicals from 

numerous locations to avoid detection by law enforcement, and DEBORAH PHILLIPS, aka 

“Debbie,” “Deborah Braden,” “Deborah Crabtree,” “Deborah C. Daugherty,” employed 

individuals such as EDDIE E. ASLINGER; MICHAEL CARROLL, aka “Mickey Carroll,” 

“Michael Herrell,” “Bo-Bo”; DAVID CHAMBLEE, aka “David James Chamblee, Jr.”; 

TIFFANY CRASS; BRANDON MARTIN, aka “Brandon Scoot Martin”; DANNY LEE 

MONDAY; LISA ORME, aka as “Lisa Dudas”; FRANCES RICHARDSON, aka “Frances M. 

Phillips”; NATASHA RICHARDSON, aka “Tasha”; MARY ROBERTS, aka “Mary Carroll”; 

NERISA ROGERS, aka “Nerisa Jane Aslinger,” “Nerisa Phillips”; ELIZABETH SCISCO; and 

DEADREA WILSON, aka “Dee-Dee,” “Deadra Candice Martin”; and others, to procure and 

trade these precursor chemicals. 

2. It was further part of the conspiracy that DEBORAH PHILLIPS, aka “Debbie,” 

“Deborah Braden,” “Deborah Crabtree,” “Deborah C. Daugherty,” would pay the co- 

conspirators for their procurement of chemicals and equipment by paying them with money or 

methcathinone or by trading prescription pills for precursor chemicals.
