A Coral Springs man is facing federal charges for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, distributing a controlled substance, and possession of a firearm in a drug trafficking crime.
James Nevin Moorman, 62, of the 8200 block of NW 51 Manor, faces a minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum of life in prison.
According to the indictment, in August 2022, law enforcement conducted two controlled buys with Moorman, where he sold approximately 100 grams of fentanyl to a confidential source.
The following month, the confidential source and an undercover officer successfully purchased 266 grams of fentanyl from Moorman on a single occasion.
In January 2023, law enforcement executed a search warrant on Moorman’s storage unit. It seized over one kilogram of fentanyl, more than 500 grams of cocaine, an assortment of pills, and two AR-style rifles, one of which was a machine gun.

The ATF, Miami Field Division, is investigating the case with assistance from the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
