A fentanyl dealer has been sentenced to over four years in federal prison for distributing over $64,000 worth of the deadly synthetic opioid.

According to a recent announcement by Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Chad E. Meacham, Donald Derrell Slay, Jr., 31, of Richardson, Texas, was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison by United States District Judge Brantley Starr for conspiring to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl.

Court filings reveal that, in late 2022 into early 2023, Slay and two others, Hakeem Aziz Wiley and Richard Daniel Gomez, sold several quantities of fentanyl to undercover officers on multiple occasions in the Dallas area. One delivery involved 6,000 fentanyl pills in exchange for $15,000.00.

The potential street value of the fentanyl pills seized in this case is approximately $64,690.00, with each pill having an approximate street value of $10.

Richard Daniel Gomez, 24, of Carrollton, Texas, received a sentence of 37 months in federal prison from Judge Starr in February this year.

The case was investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Assistant United States Attorney George Leal prosecuted the case.
