Court Sentences New Orleans Man to Five Years Imprisonment for Trafficking Fentanyl
On March 30, 2022, a Mobile County Sheriff's Office deputy conducted a stop of a black 2020 Dodge Journey Van with a Tennessee license plate for a traffic violation on Interstate 10 eastbound near the McDonald Road exit. As the deputy moved closer to the passenger side window and made contact with the driver, he detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from within the van. Perkins, the driver, was then ordered out of the vehicle. Due to the odor of marijuana from the vehicle, law enforcement conducted a probable cause search of the van.
During the search deputies located a black fanny pack on the front passenger's seat. Inside the fanny pack, officers found a plastic bag that contained several small brownish rocks that appeared to be heroin and twelve pills. Perkins admitted to knowing possession of the narcotics. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of heroin and fentanyl in the brown rocks with a total weight of 40.75 grams. The 12 pills were tested and found to contain 2.2 grams of methamphetamine. Perkins possessed the fentanyl with the intent to distribute it.
The case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations and the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney George F. May.
Defendant was found guilty and sentenced to 60 months imprisonment
