Dimitric Timopkin Wilson, Fentanyl Trafficking, Minnesota 2025

A 48-year-old man from Minnesota has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for his role in the fentanyl overdose death of a local resident.

Dimitric Timopkin Wilson, 48, was sentenced to 261 months in prison and 10 years of supervised release, announced U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen on October 2025.

According to evidence presented at Wilson’s May 2025 trial, Wilson, a drug dealer, obtained fentanyl from a source in Detroit, Michigan, and distributed it in Wisconsin and Minnesota to lower-level traffickers, including Allen Lee Goodwin.

In July 2023, Goodwin sold fentanyl to a 38-year-old man living on the Mille Lacs Reservation. The next morning, the victim injected the fentanyl and died minutes later. Additionally, in October 2023, a Minnesota State Patrol trooper pulled Wilson over for a traffic stop. During the stop, the trooper found hundreds of grams of fentanyl, fentanyl analogue, and crack cocaine hidden in a compartment of Wilson’s car and arrested Wilson.

A jury convicted Wilson of one count each of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, possession of fentanyl with the intent to distribute, and distributing fentanyl while on pretrial release. This was Wilson’s second federal drug conviction, as he was convicted in 2008 in the Eastern District of Michigan for conspiracy to distribute heroin.

U.S. District Judge Donovan W. Frank sentenced Wilson to a total of 261 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, possessing fentanyl with the intent to distribute, and distributing fentanyl while on pretrial release. The sentences run consecutively, and the total sentence is well above the sentencing guidelines range.

Goodwin, 51, was sentenced to 120 months in prison and 4 years of supervised release for distributing fentanyl resulting in death. Judge Frank noted the “devastation that fentanyl is having” on Minnesota’s communities and said that in his decades as a state and federal judge, he had “seen nothing quite like it.”
