NORFOLK — A Belizean national was sentenced Monday to 11 years in prison for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, including nearly two pounds of Fentanyl.
According to court documents, Fiorman Erick Gillett, 48, who was living illegally in the United States, conspired with others to ship about three pounds of 100 percent pure methamphetamine and almost 2 pounds of pure Fentanyl to Virginia from Texas.
The amount of Fentanyl Gillet shipped to Virginia was enough for a lethal dose for hundreds of thousands of people, prosecutors said.
Gillett will be deported after he completes his prison sentence.
