FLOYD GILBERT VIGIL, a 40-year-old Denver man, has been dealt a harsh sentence for his role in the fentanyl trafficking epidemic sweeping Wyoming. United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming announced that Vigil was sentenced to 90 months in prison, with four years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute more than 40 grams of fentanyl.
The case against Vigil arose from the prosecution of two other fentanyl dealers in the Wyoming area. Through those investigations, law enforcement uncovered evidence showing Vigil had sold a substantial amount of fentanyl, which was transported by local co-conspirators from Colorado to Wyoming for redistribution.
The investigation into Vigil’s crimes was a collaborative effort between the Cheyenne Police Department, the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The case was prosecuted by Jonathan C. Coppom.
According to court records, Vigil was ordered to pay $500 in community restitution and a $100 special assessment as part of his sentence.
The sentencing comes as the fentanyl trafficking epidemic continues to plague Wyoming and surrounding areas. Vigil’s conviction serves as a reminder of the severe consequences faced by those caught up in this deadly trade.
Vigil’s case highlights the importance of interagency cooperation in combating the fentanyl trade. By working together, law enforcement agencies can identify and disrupt the networks of dealers like Vigil, helping to stem the tide of this deadly epidemic.
