\u00a0 An Orange County man was sentenced Friday to 20 years in federal prison for distributing fentanyl that resulted in the overdose deaths of two victims, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials stated that one death occurred in Utah, the other in Aliso Viejo \u2013 within six weeks of each other in early 2021\"\".<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Josephine L. Staton sentenced <\/span>Jason Amin Soheili, 28, of Laguna Hills.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Soheili pleaded guilty in December 2022 to two counts of distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. He has been in federal custody since May 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In January and February of 2021, Soheili exchanged text messages with a Utah-based victim \u2013 identified in court documents as \u201cJ.N.\u201d \u2013 regarding the shipment of fentanyl pills. J.N. instructed Soheili to address the package containing the pills to an alias address in Fillmore, Utah.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On February 15, 2021, Soheili shipped via U.S. mail a parcel containing at least two counterfeit oxycodone pills that were laced with fentanyl. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The parcel arrived in Utah three days later. On February 21, 2021, J.N. ingested at least one of the pills and died of fentanyl toxicity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On April 1, 2021, Soheili exchanged text messages with another victim \u2013 identified in court papers as \u201cJ.M.\u201d \u2013 regarding Soheili selling cocaine and alprazolam (commonly referred to by its brand name, Xanax) to the victim. <\/span><\/p>\n

That evening, Soheili and J.M. met at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Laguna Hills to perform the drug deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After this meeting, J.M. accompanied Soheili to his home in Laguna Hills, where Soheili supplied the victim with additional drugs. At some point late that evening, the victim ingested the narcotics that Soheili had given him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Victim J.M. died on April 2, 2021 from acute fentanyl, alprazolam, and cocaine intoxication.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Department investigated this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assistant United States Attorney Kristin N. Spencer of the Santa Ana Branch Office prosecuted this case.<\/span><\/p>\n
