Man Pleads Guilty To Fentanyl Charge

Amarillo Federal Court documents filed on Thursday detailed that an Amarillo man pleaded guilty to a fentanyl possession and distribution-related charge after a July arrest during a traffic stop.

Court documents, point out Tony Jay Breedlove filed a guilty plea agreement on a charge of “Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl” on Thursday. This plea comes after Breedlove was arrested in July while he was a passenger during a traffic stop in southwest Amarillo.

Breedlove was a passenger in a vehicle being driven by Trenton Don Wilson, whom documents said Amarillo police officers were investigating for allegedly distributing suspected fentanyl pills, on July 6. Police reported suspecting Wilson of returning to Amarillo from Albuquerque, N.M. with a supply of suspected fentanyl pills, and pulled Wilson over for an allegedly suspended driver’s license while Breedlove was in the front passenger’s seat.

The plea agreement detailed that if convicted, Breedlove could face a sentence including up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of supervised release of up to three years.
