U.S. District Court Sentences Terrell Jermaine Perkins to 60 Months’ Imprisonment for Trafficking Fentanyl

On December 20, 2024, United States District Court Judge Kristi K. DuBose sentenced Terrell Jermaine Perkins of New Orleans, Louisiana, to 60 months’ imprisonment for possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl.

Documents filed with the court established that on March 30, 2022, a Mobile County Sheriff’s Office deputy conducted a stop of a black 2020 Dodge Journey Van with a Tennessee license plate for a traffic violation on Interstate 10 eastbound near the McDonald Road exit.

As the deputy moved closer to the passenger side window and made contact with the driver, he detected a strong odour of marijuana coming from within the van. Perkins, the driver, was then ordered out of the vehicle. Due to the odour of marijuana from the vehicle, law enforcement conducted a probable cause search of the van.

During the search, deputies located a black fanny pack in the front passenger seat. Inside the fanny pack, officers found a plastic bag that contained several small brownish rocks that appeared to be heroin and twelve pills.

Perkins admitted to knowing possession of the narcotics. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of heroin and fentanyl in the brown rocks, with a total weight of 40.75 grams.

The 12 pills were tested and found to contain 2.2 grams of methamphetamine. Perkins possessed the fentanyl with the intent to distribute it.
