Annapolis Heroin Distributor Sent to Prison for Decade

ANNAPOLIS, MD — A Charles County man was sentenced to spend a decade in prison for distributing heroin in Annapolis, prosecutors said. Donovan Jamal Robinson, 22, of White Plains, was sentenced on Jan. 10 by Circuit Court Judge Stacy McCormack to 10 years in prison without parole, according to a news release.

In May of 2015, Robinson sold two plastic bags full of heroin to undercover officers. This heroin weighed about one gram. The interaction between the defendant and the police officers was both audio and video recorded.

"Drug dealers must go to prison. I will not stop prosecuting those who seek to harm our citizens by selling drugs on our streets, until all drug dealers are behind bars and would-be dealers know to avoid setting up shop in Anne Arundel County," said Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Wes Adams in a statement. "I want to thank the Annapolis Police Department for their outstanding work and Judge McCormack for putting this defendant in jail for 10 years where he belongs."
