U.S. District Judge Mary S. Scriven sentenced Justin Roberson, 34, of Clearwater, to 15 years in federal prison for possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl. Roberson pleaded guilty on September 20, 2022, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida (USAO) said.

According to court documents, the Clearwater Police Department (CPD) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) were involved in an investigation involving the distribution of methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl in Clearwater.

Law enforcement reportedly received information that Roberson was distributing cocaine and methamphetamine.

Additionally, law enforcement recovered several firearms used by Roberson during his distribution of the narcotics. The firearms included rifles and semi-automatic weapons,” the USAO said in its statement.
