On multiple occasions during this period, he distributed and attempted to sell substantial quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl. Edwards was arrested on January 5, 2023, with six pounds of methamphetamine and various fentanyl pills in his vehicle.
Edwards entered a guilty plea to several charges, including conspiracy to distribute, distribution, and possession with the intent to distribute controlled substances.
The announcement of the sentencing came from United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada and Deputy Special Agent in Charge Anthony Chrysanthis of the DEA Los Angeles Field Division. The investigation was carried out by the DEA, and the case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Joshua Brister.
