An Indianapolis man has been sentenced to 70 months in prison for his role in a fentanyl conspiracy.
Erasmo Martinez, 44, of Indianapolis, Indiana, was sentenced by United States District Court Chief Judge Jon DeGuilio to 70 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute more than 400 grams of fentanyl.
According to documents filed in the case, in March 2019, Martinez conspired with others to deliver almost four kilograms of fentanyl to an individual working with law enforcement.
Martinez was also held responsible for coordinating three deliveries of ounce quantities of heroin in January 2019.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration Indiana High Intensity Drug Task Force Area.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Thomas M. McGrath.
Martinez’s sentencing marks the culmination of a long-term investigation into his fentanyl trafficking activities.
The sentence is a significant blow to Martinez’s criminal enterprise, which had been operating in the Indianapolis area for several years.
The investigation and subsequent prosecution of Martinez demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement to combating the opioid crisis in Indiana.
