FORT MYERS, Fla. – David Levon Massey (32, Cape Coral) was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for possessing fentanyl with the intent to distribute.

According to court documents, in February 2020, Massey was released from federal prison after serving more than nine years for organizing a prescription pill distribution ring. Shortly after his release, law enforcement received several tips that Massey was again distributing drugs. In October 2020, during the execution of a search warrant at Massey’s residence, law enforcement officers recovered nearly 100 grams of fentanyl, two firearms, and thousands of dollars in cash.

This case was investigated by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration Fort Myers Resident Office and the Cape Coral Police Department. It was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida.
