A Yuba City man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in trafficking fentanyl pills and illegally dealing firearms.
Sukhmanpreet Singh Jawanda, 22, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on August 1, 2024, for his crimes.
According to court documents, in 2022, Jawanda sold fentanyl and at least six firearms to an undercover agent.
On March 25, 2022, law enforcement officers conducted a traffic stop of Jawanda as he traveled on Interstate 5 in San Joaquin County and recovered more than 30,000 fentanyl pills, a kilogram of cocaine, and a firearm.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the California Highway Patrol, and the Yuba Sutter Narcotic and Gang Enforcement Task Force (NET-5).
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alstyn Bennett prosecuted the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence, and making our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
