Drug Dealer Sentenced to Four Life Sentences for Trafficking Fentanyl that Killed Local Woman

A Georgia man was sentenced to four life sentences plus 10 years for his role in a drug distribution ring that resulted in the death of a local woman.

Terrick Robinson, 35, of Cartersville, Georgia, was sentenced to life incarceration in the federal prison system for each of the following counts: Conspiracy to Possess with the Intent to Distribute and Distribute Controlled Substances, Distribution of Methamphetamine, Possession with the Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine – Aiding and Abetting, and Distribution of Fentanyl Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury or Death.

He was also sentenced to 480 months for Possession with the Intent to Distribute Cocaine Hydrochloride – Aiding and Abetting and 240 months for Use of a Firearm During and in relation to a Drug Trafficking Crime – Aiding and Abetting.

The sentencing took place in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

According to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia, Bill Powell, Robinson’s sentence sends a message that drug dealers who use guns to further their violent criminal activities will be severely punished.

During the trial, the jury heard testimony that Robinson trafficked and distributed over 4.5 kilograms of methamphetamine, as well as cocaine hydrochloride and fentanyl, in Marion County and elsewhere from May 2018 to September 2018.

Robinson and his conspirators carried at least three firearms during the drug trafficking crimes and one of the motels in Lewis County on August 9, 2018, Robinson distributed fentanyl to Courtney Dubois of Fairmont, West Virginia, which was an independent sufficient cause of her death.

The victim’s body was taken to Georgia, where it was dismembered and disposed of at the Bartow County Landfill.
