A Virginia man was sentenced Friday to 24 years and four months in prison for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
According to court documents, from July 28, 2020, to July 15, 2022, Kevin Ronregus Jones, 54, Suffolk, conducted numerous sales of heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine to a confidential source working with federal investigators.
In at least some of the fentanyl transactions, the defendant agreed to sell heroin but instead knowingly sold fentanyl.

On one occasion, Jones sold fentanyl while accompanied by a 12-year-old boy.
On Oct. 24, 2020, investigators executed a warrant to search Jones’ Portsmouth drug house where he received, stored, packaged, and distributed controlled substances.
Investigators recovered approximately 1,683 grams of fentanyl, 420 grams of powder cocaine, 31 grams of cocaine base, four plastic bags containing drug-cutting agents quinine and caffeine, a drug press, and $24,915 in fentanyl proceeds.
Upon completion of his prison term, Jones will be subject to 10 years of supervised release.
