Fort Myers, Florida – U.S. District Judge Thomas Barber has sentenced Tashod Miller (33, Indiana) to 12 years in federal prison for distributing fentanyl. Miller pleaded guilty on February 4, 2025.
According to court documents, Miller traveled from Indiana to southwest Florida with more than 11,000 fentanyl pills in his checked luggage, which he had planned to sell for $15,000. Miller then met with an undercover DEA agent at a hotel, where he handed over the pills. After his arrest, Miller, who had multiple prior drug convictions, admitted that he had been selling fentanyl for approximately one year.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Benjamin S. Winter.
