Marcus Gil pleaded guilty to possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.
The court considered aggravating factors, including the large quantity of fentanyl (276.2 grams), its proximity to a children's daycare, and the offender's criminal history and breach of probation.
Mitigating factors included an early guilty plea, expressed remorse, young age (22), and strong family support.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence as paramount objectives due to the ongoing opioid crisis and the destructive effects of fentanyl.
A total sentence of eight and a half years imprisonment was imposed, with credit for pre-sentence custody, resulting in six years and ten months to serve.
Ancillary orders included a lifetime firearm prohibition, a DNA order, and forfeiture of seized items.
