Fentanyl Traffickers Sentenced to Federal Prison

A federal court in Alabama has dealt a crushing blow to the fentanyl trafficking underworld, handing down stiff prison sentences to two brazen traffickers.

U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis announced today that Marcos Gallegos, 43, of Pueblo, Colorado, and Morgan Galloway, 25, of Pocatello, Idaho, were sentenced to federal prison for possessing fentanyl with the intent to distribute it.

The ruthless duo was caught in the crosshairs of law enforcement after a meticulous investigation uncovered their sinister plot to flood the streets with deadly fentanyl.

U.S. District Judge David C. Nye showed no mercy, sentencing Gallegos to 188 months in federal prison and Galloway to 60 months in federal prison, a stark reminder that the war on fentanyl will not be won without a heavy toll on those who would seek to wage it.

The grim reality of the opioid epidemic has left a trail of devastation in its wake, with thousands of lives lost to the scourge of fentanyl. These sentences serve as a beacon of hope for those who have lost loved ones to this senseless violence.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to putting an end to the fentanyl trafficking trade, and today’s sentencing is a testament to their unwavering dedication to justice.
