Dezmond Tobias Tucker, a 31-year-old from Union, South Carolina, was sentenced to over 10 years in federal prison for distributing fentanyl linked to a fatal overdose.
Case Background
The sentencing stemmed from a joint Union Police Department and DEA investigation into undercover fentanyl sales in October 2023. Evidence tied Tucker to selling the drug to a 20-year-old Spartanburg woman who died from an overdose in December 2022.
Investigation and Sentence
In March 2024, federal agents searched Tucker’s residence, recovering a firearm he later forfeited. He faces three years of supervised release after his term, with no federal parole available.
