A local drug dealer will spend more than a decade behind bars.

A federal judge this week sentenced Lindell Robinson, 46, of Middle River, to 13 years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin. The judge also ordered that Robinson forfeit his vehicle and $16,000 in cash recovered during the investigation.

According to Robinson’s plea agreement, on February 6, 2018, co-defendant Stanley Rodgers took delivery of a bag containing 10 kilograms of heroin from two unidentified males in Howard County, Maryland. Rodgers returned to his residence and awaited the arrival of Robinson. A short time later, Robinson arrived at Rodgers’ residence, took the 10 kilograms of heroin, and drove to downtown Baltimore, where he was arrested by DEA agents. The 10 kilograms of heroin, which had a wholesale value of approximately $700,000, was recovered from Robinson’s vehicle.

On June 25, 2018, Rogers, 60, of Baltimore, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for his role in the conspiracy.
