A Wichita woman has been sentenced to prison for her role in a fentanyl trafficking operation.
According to court documents, Shakorra D. Bonds, 36, of Wichita, pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of a controlled substance.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) received information in March 2024 that Bonds was selling fentanyl in Wichita. Agents coordinated a purchase of controlled substances from Bonds, resulting in the sale of 1,000 fentanyl pills.
In her plea agreement, Bonds admitted to selling pills that she knew contained fentanyl.
U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser released a statement regarding the case. ‘According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdoses are the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 44, with fentanyl as a major culprit in causing many lives to be tragically cut short.’
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Katie Andrusak prosecuted the case.
Bonds was sentenced to 48 months in prison for her role in the fentanyl trafficking operation.
The case highlights the ongoing struggle against fentanyl trafficking in the state of Kansas.
