Prosecutors presented evidence that Robinson sold drugs to an undercover police officer in Madison on four separate occasions in June 2024. He sold cocaine on June 3; cocaine and fentanyl on June 6; and cocaine, fentanyl, and heroin on both June 13 and June 20.
On June 25, authorities executed a search warrant at the hotel room where Robinson was staying. Inside, they reportedly found more than 500 grams of cocaine, heroin, and over 40 grams of fentanyl. Investigators also recovered drug packaging materials, ingredients for manufacturing crack cocaine, a money counter, and an undisclosed amount of cash.

A forensic scientist from the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory confirmed the chemical identities of the substances. A Drug Enforcement Administration expert testified that the amounts of cocaine and fentanyl found in the room were consistent with distribution rather than personal use.
Robinson is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 2, 2025. He faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison for each drug distribution charge and the charge of maintaining a drug-involved premises. He also faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 40 years in prison for each possession with intent to distribute charge.

Two men remain jailed after three armed robberies in 41 minutes, Dallas police say
Two North Texas men remain in jail after allegedly robbing three Dallas convenience stores at gunpoint in just 41 minutes earlier this month, according to police. Ubaldo Maquitico, 18, and Adrian Urquiza, 20, are accused of pointing handguns and demanding cash at three stores between 4:14 a.m. and 4:55 a.m. on Tuesday, July 1, the Dallas Police Department said. Urquiza is being held on $100,000 bond, and Maquitico on $50,000 bond, jail records show. Roughly seven minutes after the final robbery, officers spotted the suspects' vehicle near St. Augustine and Lake June Road. Once additional units arrived, police conducted a felony traffic stop, and both suspects surrendered without incident. "These criminals thought they could tear through our city and get away with it, but through excellent police work and good tactics, two dangerous offenders were arrested and their crime spree stopped before an innocent person was hurt," Deputy Chief Patricia Mora said in a release. CBS News Texas will provide additional information as it becomes available.
