CAPE GIRARDEAU – U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr. on Thursday sentenced Cameron L. Robinson, 31, of Sikeston, Missouri, to 10 years in prison for trafficking fentanyl.
Court documents reflect that in March 2023, law enforcement officers responded to Robinson’s residence in Sikeston to arrest him on an outstanding warrant. While on the premises, officers discovered a large bag containing over a half-pound of fentanyl concealed in a barbecue grill on the back porch.
At a guilty plea hearing in U.S. District Court in cape Girardeau earlier this year, Robinson pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and admitted that the fentanyl belonged to him and that he intended to distribute it. After serving the 10-year sentence, Robinson will be placed on supervised release for three years.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Sikeston Department of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Koester handled the prosecution for the Government.
