WICHITA, KAN. - A Kansas woman was sentenced to 48 months in prison for drug trafficking.
According to court documents, Shakorra D. Bonds, 36, of Wichita pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of a controlled substance.
In March 2024, the Kansas Bureau of lnvestigation (KBI) received information that Bonds was selling fentanyl in Wichita. Agents coordinated a purchase of controlled substances from Bonds which resulted in the sale of 1,000 fentanyl pills. In her plea agreement, Bonds admitted to selling pills that she knew contained fentanyl.
"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdoses are the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 44, with fentanyl as a major culprit in causing many lives to be tragically cut short," said U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser. "We at the Department of Justice are grateful for our state and local law enforcement partners who work hand in hand with us to try to rid our communities of this toxic substance."
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) investigated the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Katie Andrusak prosecuted the case.
