A Jamaican man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison after police intercepted a meth delivery from California to a Virginia hotel.

According to court documents, Kirkville Virgo, aka Mark Thomas, 47, and another person, who was not named, shipped meth from California to a hotel in Richmond.

On March 23, 2024, law enforcement interdicted a package that contained 10 heat-sealed bundles of meth weighing approximately 9,080 grams.

Agents replaced approximately 18 pounds of meth with rock salt, leaving approximately two pounds of meth in the parcel, and performed a controlled delivery to the hotel.

Virgo later entered the hotel, using the name Delbert Dujon, and took custody of the package from the front desk.

Law enforcement then arrested Virgo.

Virgo was previously permanently removed from the United States on Feb. 5, 2013, and he was in the United States illegally at the time of the offense, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Virginia.
