NORFOLK, Va. – A Suffolk man was sentenced to 24 years and 4 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
Kevin Ronregus Jones, 54, was found guilty of numerous sales of heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine to a confidential source working with federal investigators from July 28, 2020, to July 15, 2022.
In at least some of the fentanyl transactions, Jones agreed to sell heroin, but instead knowingly sold fentanyl. On one occasion, Jones sold fentanyl while accompanied by a 12-year-old boy.
On October 24, 2020, investigators executed a warrant to search Jones’ Portsmouth drug house where he received, stored, packaged, and distributed controlled substances. Investigators recovered approximately 1,683 grams of fentanyl, 420 grams of powder cocaine, 31 grams of cocaine base, four plastic bags containing drug-cutting agents quinine and caffeine, a drug press, and $24,915 in fentanyl proceeds.
Upon completion of his prison term, Jones will be subject to 10 years of supervised release.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Darryl J. Mitchell.
A copy of the press release is located on the website of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. Related court documents and information are located on the website of the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia or on PACER by searching for Case No. 2:22-cr-104.
