密西西比州三人供毒致海军水兵死亡被判刑：主犯获刑157个月
美国司法部密西西比南区联邦检察官办公室11月12日宣布，向一名现役海军水兵提供含芬太尼毒品并致其死亡的三名被告已在联邦法院判刑：37岁的 Clayton Faubion 获刑157个月，43岁的 Michael Nix 获刑84个月，36岁的 Augustina Dahilig 因知情不报获刑14个月。案件发生在密西西比州哈里森县 Gulfport 市，受害水兵在法庭文件中代号 S.K.，于2022年4月死亡。
据法庭文件，2022年4月15日晚，三名被告与 S.K. 及另两名军人在 Gulfport 一家酒吧相遇。Faubion 与 Nix 离开酒吧，从 Nix 认识的一名毒贩处取来毒品，返回后由 Faubion 将毒品交给 S.K. 及其一名同伴。S.K. 服食后数分钟内失去意识并发出鼾声。当晚约9时42分，Faubion 与 Dahilig 驾车把昏迷的 S.K. 带往一处公寓小区，S.K. 在 Faubion 的车内滞留至约11时40分，才由另两名军人送往医院，抵达急诊室时已无脉搏。
S.K. 于2022年4月21日被宣布脑死亡，随后撤除生命支持。毒理报告在其体内检出可卡因、甲基苯丙胺、尼古丁、芬太尼与酒精；医学毒理专家结合病历、酒吧监控录像与调查档案认定，其死因是急性芬太尼中毒，致死毒品正是 Nix 与 Faubion 取得并提供的那一批。
受害人死亡后一个月内，Dahilig 得知 Nix 对外称毒品由 Faubion 提供，便在工作场合警告 Nix 不得再谈此事。2023年3月与5月，她在内华达州接受联邦执法人员问话时，就 Faubion 是否涉案、案发当晚三人行踪等作出虚假陈述，并试图把取毒与供毒的责任全部推给 Nix。
联邦大陪审团于2025年7月29日以两项罪名起诉三人。Nix 与 Faubion 此前已承认持有并意图分发致人死亡的管制物质，Dahilig 承认知情不报重罪。除监禁外，Faubion 另被处罚款1.2万美元，三人刑满后分别接受5年、5年与1年的监管释放，联邦刑期没有假释。联邦检察官 Baxter Kruger 表示，分发这种致命毒品的人将被追责。本案由缉毒局（DEA）、海军刑事调查局（NCIS）、Gulfport 警察局与哈里森县警长办公室侦办，助理联邦检察官 Jonathan Buckner 负责起诉。
Three Sentenced in Mississippi Fentanyl Death of Navy Sailor: Ringleader Gets 157 Months
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Mississippi announced on November 12 that three defendants who supplied fentanyl-laced drugs to an active-duty U.S. Navy sailor, causing his death, have been sentenced in federal court: Clayton Faubion, 37, received 157 months in prison, Michael Nix, 43, received 84 months, and Augustina Dahilig, 36, received 14 months for misprision of a felony. The case arose in Gulfport, Harrison County, Mississippi, where the sailor, identified in court documents as S.K., died in April 2022.
According to court documents, on the evening of April 15, 2022, the three defendants met S.K. and two fellow service members at a bar in Gulfport. Faubion and Nix left to obtain a controlled substance from a dealer known to Nix, and Faubion then provided the substance to S.K. and one of his fellow sailors. Within minutes of ingesting it, S.K. became unconscious and began snoring. At about 9:42 p.m., Faubion and Dahilig drove the unconscious sailor to an apartment complex, where he remained inside Faubion's vehicle until about 11:40 p.m., when the two other sailors took him to a hospital. He had no pulse when he arrived at the emergency room.
S.K. was declared brain dead on April 21, 2022, and was removed from life support. A toxicology report found cocaine, methamphetamine, nicotine, fentanyl, and alcohol in his system, and a medical toxicologist who reviewed his medical records, bar surveillance footage, and investigative files concluded that his death was caused specifically by acute fentanyl intoxication, from the substance sourced and supplied by Nix and Faubion.
Within a month of the victim's death, Dahilig learned that Nix was telling others the drugs had been given to S.K. by Faubion, and she confronted Nix at work and told him to stop discussing the incident. In interviews with federal agents in Nevada in March and May 2023, Dahilig lied about Faubion's involvement, concealed the group's travel after visiting Nix's home that night, and tried to place sole blame on Nix.
A federal grand jury charged all three defendants in a two-count indictment filed on July 29, 2025. Nix and Faubion previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance resulting in death, and Dahilig pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony. Faubion was also fined $12,000, and the three will serve supervised release terms of five years, five years, and one year after prison; there is no parole in the federal system. U.S. Attorney Baxter Kruger said those who distribute fentanyl will be held accountable. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), the Gulfport Police Department, and the Harrison County Sheriff's Office, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Buckner.
