A Fort Myers man has been sentenced to prison for his role in a methylone conspiracy.
Titus Lamar Bellot, 28, of Fort Myers, was sentenced to five years in federal prison for conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute the controlled substance methylone, according to a recent press release.
The conviction stems from an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, which revealed that Bellot had ordered the controlled substance from the People’s Republic of China through an international mail facility in New York.
On April 21, 2014, Customs and Border Protection officials encountered a parcel containing methylone, which was subsequently delivered to a Lehigh Acres address.
Deena Williams, who was also convicted of a related crime, accepted the package and removed the drugs. Bellot arrived at the scene shortly after and attempted to pick up the package, which ultimately led to his arrest and conviction.
The case against Bellot was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jeffrey F. Michelland.
According to the press release, the investigation revealed that the package containing methylone belonged to Bellot.
Bellot was convicted by a federal jury on February 13, 2015, and subsequently sentenced to five years in prison.
The exact date of the crime was April 21, 2014.
