DENVER – A Mexican national living in Colorado was sentenced to six years in federal prison Dec. 2, for possession with intent to distribute of nearly 1,400 grams of fentanyl. He was also ordered to forfeit more than $40,000 in cash.

This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Denver Police Department (DPD). U.S. Attorney Jason R. Dunn, District of Colorado, announced the sentence.

“Fentanyl is a dangerous drug and can be fatal even in tiny amounts,” said U.S. Attorney Jason Dunn.  “Denver Police and HSI were able to remove a substantial amount of fentanyl and other drugs from the streets of Metro Denver, likely saving countless lives.”
