In

September 2022 Defendant used a short-term rental home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to distribute fentanyl pills. The rental was booked by an unindicted female co- conspirator at Defendant's direction through Airbnb.com, an online marketplace for

short-term housing rentals.



Mallory Massey was the property manager of the rental. The keypad on the front door of the residence notified her when the door was opened. Because she had not received any such notification during Defendant's rental period, she visited the

rental on September 9 to see if it had been abandoned. After she entered the residence she discovered that the master-bedroom door was locked. When she knocked on the door, Defendant opened it. He looked as if he had just awakened. Ms. Massey said that she was checking on the rental because of the absence of front-door activity. Defendant told her that he had been using the back door to enter and exit. Several days later, on September 15, police officers saw Defendant sell 2.75 grams of fentanyl pills to a confidential informant inside the rental at the front-door threshold. Officers executed a search warrant at the residence on September 19. They found Defendant and arrested him. The search recovered fentanyl and marijuana, scales, firearms, ammunition, and cash. Officers also found various personal belongings.



A grand jury indicted Defendant on charges of (1) possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A)(vi); (2) possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(i); and (3) being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(8). Defendant was convicted on all three counts following a jury trial.

The Defendant was sentenced to 248 months' imprisonment.
