Mario R. Garmoo, Oxycodone Distribution, North Dakota 2019
A Detroit man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for his role in a massive oxycodone distribution operation in North Dakota.
Mario R. Garmoo, 32, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Daniel M. Traynor on Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with Intent to Distribute Oxycodone and Possession with Intent to Distribute Oxycodone.
According to the investigation, Garmoo had traveled out of state and was returning to North Dakota with intent to distribute the opiate pills. Law enforcement agents located 94 oxycodone 30mg pills and approximately 1 pound of marijuana during a traffic stop near Fargo, North Dakota on March 20, 2019.
The investigation determined that Garmoo had acquired and distributed hundreds of oxycodone 30mg pills, primarily in the area of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
Garmoo was found to be a 'career offender' under the United States Sentencing Guidelines based upon two prior drug trafficking convictions.
Assistant United States Attorney Rick Volk prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the DEA, MHA Drug Enforcement, and Bismarck PD.
In addition to his 15-year prison sentence, Garmoo was also sentenced to 3 years of supervised release and $200 in special assessment fees.
