A Cheyenne man has been sentenced to 77 months in federal prison for his role in a fentanyl trafficking ring in Wyoming.
Martin Anthony Martinez, Jr., 32, was sentenced on July 9, 2023, by U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson.
According to court documents, Martinez came to the attention of Task Force Officers with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in June 2023.
On July 5, 2023, a state search warrant was executed on his property, resulting in the seizure of approximately 4,000 fentanyl pills, 16 grams of methamphetamine, and a loaded Glock 32 semiautomatic handgun.
Martinez pleaded guilty to the charge of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl on March 24, 2023. This case was prosecuted by Timothy J. Forwood.
