RALEIGH, N.C. – A brutal crackdown on heroin and fentanyl distribution in Robeson County has resulted in two men being locked away for years. Justin Dwayne Jones, 23, was sentenced to 156 months, while Joshua Allen Woods, 29, received a 63-month term. Both were part of a sinister conspiracy that spanned 2019.
Their illegal enterprise, which included the sale of other controlled substances, has been tied to several overdoses requiring emergency medical intervention. The trio’s operations have finally met their fate with the sentencing of Cody Alexander Locklear, who was handed a 234-month sentence on August 3, 2020.
Robert J. Higdon, Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, announced the sentences following the sentencing by U.S. District Judge James C. Dever III. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office and Federal Bureau of Investigation played pivotal roles in the investigation, while Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Caroline Webb prosecuted the case with vigor.
