TOLEDO, OH – Antoine Neal, a 40-year-old Toledo man, has been charged in a 14-count federal indictment for conspiring to distribute carfentanil, fentanyl, and heroin.
According to the indictment, Neal, also known as Antoinne Neal, conspired with others and sold fentanyl, heroin, carfentanil, and crack cocaine between June and October 2017.
Neal allegedly sold more than 26 grams of carfentanil over a 10-day period in 2017, a staggering amount that could have potentially killed thousands of people, according to U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman.
‘This defendant sold enough carfentanil to kill thousands of people, not to mention the other deadly drugs he sold,’ Herdman said.
The investigation into Neal’s activities was a joint effort between the Toledo Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alissa M. Sterling is handling the case.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Neal is entitled to a fair trial, in which the government will have the burden of proving his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The sentence for Neal, if convicted, will be determined by the court after reviewing factors unique to the case, including his prior criminal record, his role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation.
In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum, and in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.
