Cast Lucas, 36, of Deerfield Beach, Fla., has been sentenced to 10 years in prison as a career offender by Federal District Judge William P. Dimitrouleas for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.

Lucas received an enhanced sentence for having at least two prior felony convictions for controlled substance offenses, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (USAO) said. On two separate occasions, he has been convicted of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

According to the USAO, on August 18, 2022, Lucas went to a Deerfield Beach gas station to sell fentanyl to a confidential informant. Prior to the attempted sale, law enforcement reportedly followed Lucas to the gas station and arrested him. At the time of his arrest, law enforcement reportedly recovered fentanyl from Lucas.
