Drug Trafficker Headed to Prison
U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson sentenced 34-year-old Kyle Aubrey Rozell of Cheyenne to 7 years in prison for the charges of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
Rozell was indicted by a federal grand jury in Wyoming and pleaded guilty to the charges in July. According to court documents, on August 23, 2022, an officer with the Cheyenne Police Department conducted a traffic stop on the defendant. A search of the vehicle yielded over 200 fentanyl pills, $2,900 in cash, drug paraphernalia, and a cell phone.
Further investigation revealed that Rozell was using that cell phone to buy and sell fentanyl pills. The crime was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation and Cheyenne Police Department.
