The U.S. Attorney’s Office reports 34-year-old Kyle Rozell was sentenced to 85 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson imposed the sentence last Wednesday in Cheyenne.
Rozell was indicted by a federal grand jury in Wyoming and pleaded guilty to the charges in July. According to court documents, on August 23, 2022, Cheyenne Police conducted a traffic stop on the defendant. Pursuant to a lawful search, officers found over 200 fentanyl pills, $2,900 in cash, drug paraphernalia, and a cell phone in the vehicle. Further investigation revealed that Rozell was using that cell phone to buy and sell fentanyl pills.
This crime was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation and Cheyenne Police.
