Dubuque Man Sentenced for Fentanyl and Heroin Crimes
A Dubuque man, Samson S. Jackson, has been sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for his role in distributing fentanyl and heroin in the area.
Jackson, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance on July 28, 2021. In a plea agreement, Jackson admitted that on April 10, 2020, law enforcement officers searched his residence and recovered over 20 grams of a heroin/fentanyl mixture and over 9 grams of heroin.
Jackson admitted that he intended to distribute some or all of the heroin and heroin/fentanyl mixture to another person. He was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams.
Jackson must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after his prison term. There is no parole in the federal system. He is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Dillan Edwards and investigated by the Dubuque Drug Task Force.
