A Richmond drug trafficker has been sentenced to 20 years in prison following his conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Montrio Santos Neville, 40, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of two federal charges: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
The charges against Neville were brought by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California and were the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Richmond Police Department.
Neville was arrested and charged in connection with the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. He pleaded guilty to the charges on February 27, 2024, and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. on March 15, 2024.
As part of his plea agreement, Neville also agreed to forfeit any property or assets related to the crimes, including any firearms and methamphetamine that may have been seized during the investigation.
The case against Neville is a stark reminder of the ongoing problem of gun violence and drug trafficking in Richmond and beyond. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
Neville’s sentencing is a significant victory for law enforcement and the community, and serves as a warning to those who would engage in similar criminal activity.
