Cameron L. Robinson, a 31-year-old resident of Sikeston, Missouri, has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for trafficking fentanyl. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr. on Thursday.
The case dates back to March 2023 when law enforcement officers went to Robinson's residence in Sikeston to arrest him on an outstanding warrant. During the visit, officers found a large bag containing over half a pound of fentanyl hidden in a barbecue grill on the back porch.
Earlier this year, Robinson pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Cape Girardeau to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. He admitted that the fentanyl was his and that he intended to distribute it.
Following his prison term, Robinson will be subject to three years of supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Sikeston Department of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Koester prosecuted the case for the government.
