SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A Sioux Falls man was sentenced on Monday to 10 years in prison for his role in conspiracy to distribute fentanyl.

Until February, Hermon Mehari Gebre, 19, conspired with others over months to distribute more than 400 grams of pills containing fentanyl, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office press release on Tuesday.

Gebre unknowingly sold 76 pills to a confidential informant working with law enforcement.

Gebre was indicted in February and plead guilty in July.

I agree Monica. After he gets out of prison, he’ll be out in the street selling them again because that’s the only business he knows. I say ship him back to Mexico,
