An Iraqi national residing in Henrico County was sentenced on Tuesday to 15 years and eight months in prison for fentanyl possession and distribution.
Yasir H. Al Sheikh Mohammed, 28, pled guilty on Nov. 15, 2024.
His accomplice, Destiny Aleeyona Deaver Lindore, 24, of Richmond, pled guilty on Nov. 13, 2024, and was sentenced this week to four years of probation with six months of home confinement.
According to court documents, on July 25, 2023, Mohammed conducted hand-to-hand transactions from a hotel room in Glen Allen rented by his girlfriend, Lindore, who was present in the room during the transactions and helped Mohammed package the fentanyl pills.
When Mohammed and Lindore travelled to a nearby pharmacy, law enforcement arrested Mohammed on outstanding warrants while Lindore was inside the business.
During a search of the vehicle, officers recovered 10 tablets containing fentanyl from Lindore’s purse and $164 in purported drug proceeds.
During a search of the hotel room, investigators recovered 1,060 tablets containing fentanyl marked “M” and “30,” making them appear to be Oxycodone.
They also recovered a handgun from Mohammed’s backpack and $3,890 in cash.
