The indictment alleges that Heath distributed fentanyl on two occasions in August and September of 2024. It also alleges that on Sept. 5, 2024, Heath sold a Glock, Model 23, .40-caliber pistol to an individual he knew to be a convicted felon.
The indictment goes on to allege that Heath has a criminal history that includes felony convictions for manslaughter and larceny. It is against federal law for an individual previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.
The indictment charges Heath with two counts of possession with intent to distribute and the distribution of fentanyl, which carries a maximum term of 20 years in prison on each count; one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, which carries a maximum term of 15 years in prison; one count of sale of a firearm by a prohibited person, which carries a maximum term of 15 years in prison; and one count of firearms trafficking, which carries a maximum term of 15 years in prison.
