Marion Man Headed To Federal Prison, Distributed Deadly Drug Fentanyl Into Southwest Virginia

A Marion, Virginia man will spend four years in Federal prison for his transgressions involving the distribution of the deadly drug Fentanyl in the region. The Department of Justice says 21 year old Dakota Shadoe Tunnell was sentenced on one count of possession of Fentanyl with the intent to distribute. Tunnell’s scheme involved the purchase of large amounts of pills up to five hundred in some cases, then redistributing those pills into southwest Virginia.
