Akron Man to Spend More Than 10 Years in Prison for Trafficking Meth and Fentanyl While Out on Parole

CLEVELAND - A Summit County man has been sentenced to prison for trafficking controlled substances and for having a pistol in his possession while he was out on parole.

Travon Robinson, 32, of Akron, Ohio, was sentenced to 130 months (10.83 years) in prison by U.S. District Judge Pamela A. Barker after pleading guilty in November of 2025 to the following charges:

• Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine
• Possession with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl
• Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition; Prior conviction of Trafficking in Heroin in 2016

Robinson was also ordered to serve four years of supervised release after imprisonment. Due to his previous drug convictions, he was designated as a career offender.

According to court documents, in early 2022 investigators learned that Robinson was trafficking drugs while he was out on parole after serving prison time for a previous drug offense. A parole search of Robinson's bedroom revealed a grocery bag containing 450 grams of methamphetamine. Investigators also seized several cellphones, cash, drug trafficking paraphernalia, and more than four grams of fentanyl. Robinson was also found to be in possession of a Beretta, 32 caliber pistol and ammunition.

The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and the Ohio Adult Parole Authority with assistance from the Akron Police Department.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kevin E. Bringman for the Northern District of Ohio.
