A notorious Richmond drug trafficker has been given a lengthy prison sentence for his crimes in Phoenix, Arizona.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents and the DEA worked together to bring Montrio Santos Neville, 40, to justice, but his crimes in Arizona have finally caught up to him.
Neville was sentenced to 20 years in prison on February 15, 2024 after being convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
An investigation by the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona found that Neville had been involved in a string of crimes in Arizona, using his previous convictions to intimidate and control those around him.
According to the Department of Justice, Neville had a lengthy history of crime, including previous convictions for violent offenses.
Neville is currently being held at the US Penitentiary in Tucson, Arizona, where he will serve out his 20-year sentence.
The sentencing was a long time coming for Neville, who had been evading justice for years. His crimes have had a significant impact on the community, and his sentence is a testament to the dedication of law enforcement agencies working to keep our streets safe.
Neville’s case is a stark reminder of the dangers of gun violence and the importance of holding accountable those who seek to harm our communities.
The US Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona praises the work of the ATF, DEA, and other law enforcement agencies in bringing Neville to justice.
This case is a prime example of the collaborative efforts between federal, state, and local agencies to combat crime and keep our communities safe.
