Illinois man receives seven-year sentence for selling fentanyl

Robert Holder, a 33-year-old resident of Markham, Illinois, has been sentenced to 84 months in prison and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to distributing fentanyl. The sentencing was handed down by United States District Court Judge Gretchen S. Lund, according to an announcement from Acting United States Attorney M. Scott Proctor.

Court documents state that in the spring of 2024, Holder sold fentanyl to law enforcement officers on five separate occasions.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives led the investigation into the case. Assistant United States Attorney Joel L. Mathur prosecuted the matter.
