Description:
Duluth Man Sentenced to Over 17 Years in Prison in Drug Trafficking Conspiracy Case
A Duluth man has been sentenced to 210 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa D. Kirkpatrick.
According to court documents, Johnathan Eric Thompson, a.k.a. "Remy,†34, conspired with others to obtain and distribute large amounts of methamphetamine and fentanyl. Thompson regularly traveled to Chicago to obtain methamphetamine and fentanyl to sell throughout the Duluth, Minnesota region. On October 27, 2023, Thompson sold 1,830 grams of methamphetamine to one individual, and on November 16, 2023, he sold 2,280 grams of methamphetamine to another individual. Law enforcement executed a search warrant at an apartment being used by the defendant and his co-conspirators to store and package methamphetamine and fentanyl for sale and found 858 grams of methamphetamine and 568 grams of fentanyl. Thompson was arrested on November 30, 2023. At the time of arrest, he was found in possession of 268 grams of fentanyl and 100 counterfeit fentanyl pills. Between October and November 2023, it is estimated that Thompson possessed 7,321 grams of methamphetamine and 863 grams of fentanyl.
Thompson was sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court before Judge Eric C. Tostrud on one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl. In handing down the sentence, Judge Tostrud noted the sentence was due in part to Thompson's negative impact to the city of Duluth, and that his crimes "fed existing addictions and destroyed lives and families.â€
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Duluth Police Department, St. Louis County Sheriff's Department, the Lake Superior Violent Offender Task Force, and Homeland Security Investigations.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nichole J. Carter prosecuted the case.
