Federal agents videotaped Kentarius Williams selling fentanyl while he was on release awaiting trial for fraud.
Updated:A Mobile man will spend the next 85 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to both federal wire fraud and selling fentanyl, U.S. Attorneys Sean Costello from the Southern District of Alabama announced.
Because Williams used a computer to file the fraudulent application, the communication traveled across state lines to the SBA’s computer servers in Virginia and to a bank’s servers in Oregon, violating federal wire fraud statutes. In February, federal agents raided Williams’ Mobile apartment, with fentanyl and oxycodone pills among the items seized in the raid.
U.S. District Judge Terry Moorer sentenced Williams to 14 months for wire fraud, and 71 months for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, with the two terms to run consecutively.
