Bryant Taylor, a 31-year-old man from St. Louis County, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his involvement in a string of drug crimes.
Taylor was found guilty of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, distribution of fentanyl and heroin, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. The charges stem from a series of transactions that took place in August and September of 2019, in which Taylor sold oxycodone, heroin, and fentanyl to an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agent and a person working for the DEA.
On March 28, 2020, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department officers observed what appeared to be a drug transaction and subsequently found fentanyl, cocaine base, and a 9mm Taurus handgun in a Mercedes Benz with Taylor.
When a U.S. Marshals task force went to Taylor’s home on October 1, 2020, to arrest him, they found fentanyl, $12,795 in cash, a Glock 19 handgun with a drum magazine, a Kel-Tec rifle, a Kimber .45-caliber handgun, and drug paraphernalia. Taylor admitted to selling fentanyl and cocaine base, and stated that the cash came from drug sales.
The investigation into Taylor’s activities was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
Taylor pleaded guilty in March to the aforementioned charges, and was subsequently sentenced to 10 years in prison.
