A Michigan man was sentenced on Friday to 185 months in prison, by U.S. District Judge Robert E. Wier, for his involvement in a conspiracy to distribute heroin and 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
On August 12, 2021, a Johnson County Sheriff’s Deputy conducted a search of the residence of Charles Chandler in Johnson County. During the search, law enforcement seized over 500 grams of methamphetamine that Chandler had obtained from Jayshawn Robinson.
Jayshawn Robinson, 30 of Detroit, pleaded guilty to aggravated drug trafficking charges, in March 2022. According to Robinson’s plea agreement, between April 2021 and August 12, 2021, he had been regularly importing drugs into Johnson and Magoffin Counties to supply drug dealers there, including Chandler.
