佛州Gainesville男子Trai Williams售含芬太尼假药丸致人过量死亡 被判联邦监禁25年
美国佛罗里达州 Gainesville：Gainesville 男子 Trai Williams（28岁）因持有并意图分销100克以上卡芬太尼（carfentanil，芬太尼类似物）及其他受控物质，此前认罪后被判联邦监禁25年。佛州北区联邦检察官 John P. Heekin 宣布了这一判决。
量刑阶段查明的事实显示，2024年6月24日，Williams 把含芬太尼的假冒「压制」药丸卖给 Elijah Brantley，Brantley 再把药丸卖给佛州 Green Cove Springs 的一名买家，该买家于2024年6月25日服药过量死亡。Brantley 在佛州中区另有一项「分销受控物质致死」指控待审，其在该案中被推定无罪。
法庭文件还显示，2025年10月2日，Williams 驾车逃避警方追捕、横跨多个县，车速超过每小时120英里，途中把可卡因等毒品扔出车外；其车辆被截停后，执法人员搜查他在 Gainesville 的公寓，查获156克以上卡芬太尼，以及含海洛因、芬太尼、异丙嗪、可待因、可卡因的物质和5.5万美元以上现金。据缉毒局（DEA）的安全警示，卡芬太尼原为麻醉大象等大型动物的合成阿片，效力约为吗啡的1万倍、芬太尼的100倍。
联邦检察官 Heekin 表示，该毒贩向街头倾泻毒物的日子已经结束，等待他的只有联邦监狱。Gainesville 警察局长 Nelson Moya 表示，25年的联邦刑期释放出明确信号：分销这类危险毒品的人将被追责。此案由缉毒局（DEA）与 Gainesville-Alachua County 毒品任务组联合调查，Alachua、Hamilton、Columbia 与 Clay 四县警长办公室协助，助理联邦检察官 Adam Hapner 与 James A. McCain 负责起诉；此案属司法部「夺回美国行动」（Operation Take Back America）的一部分。
Gainesville Man Trai Williams Sentenced to 25 Years in Federal Prison in Fentanyl Overdose Death Case Involving Carfentanil
In Gainesville, Florida, Trai Williams, 28, of Gainesville, was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison after previously pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute more than 100 grams of carfentanil, a fentanyl analogue, and other controlled substances. John P. Heekin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida, announced the sentence.
Evidence at sentencing established that on June 24, 2024, Williams sold counterfeit pressed pills containing fentanyl to Elijah Brantley, who sold them to an individual in Green Cove Springs, Florida, who overdosed and died from the pills on June 25, 2024. Brantley has a pending charge in the Middle District of Florida for distribution of a controlled substance causing a death, for which he is presumed innocent.
Court documents also show that on October 2, 2025, Williams fled from police through multiple counties at speeds in excess of 120 mph, throwing cocaine and other drugs from the vehicle during the pursuit. After his vehicle was immobilized and he was apprehended, law enforcement searched his Gainesville apartment and found over 156 grams of carfentanil and other substances containing heroin, fentanyl, promethazine, codeine and cocaine, along with over $55,000 in cash. According to a DEA officer safety alert, carfentanil is a synthetic opioid originally developed to tranquilize large animals such as elephants; the DEA estimates it is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times stronger than fentanyl.
U.S. Attorney Heekin said the trafficker's days of flooding the streets with deadly poison are over. Gainesville Police Chief Nelson Moya said the 25-year sentence sends a strong message that those who distribute these dangerous drugs will be held accountable. The case was investigated jointly by the DEA and the Gainesville Alachua County Drug Task Force, with assistance from the sheriff's offices in Alachua, Hamilton, Columbia and Clay counties, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Adam Hapner and James A. McCain as part of Operation Take Back America.
