Woodbridge Man Pleads Guilty To Possessing 14K Counterfeit Fentanyl-Laced Percocet Pills

WOODBRIDGE, VA — A man from Woodbridge pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl on Thursday. Authorities said the man was arrested in December 2021 after police officers found thousands of fentanyl pills in his hotel room.

The U.S. Attorney's Office identified the man as 24-year-old Keyshone Stephan Hogan.

After his arrest, Hogan was charged with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Hogan's sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 5. He could face up to 20 years in prison, authorities said. The U.S. Attorney's Office noted that actual sentences for federal crimes are typically lower than the maximum guideline. A federal district court judge will decide the sentence.

Hogan was arrested on Dec. 2 when he exited a hotel room in Manassas and entered his car, authorities said. Police claimed that when they took Hogan into custody, he had a Glock handgun concealed in his waistband. Officers also reported that they found 250 counterfeit Percocet pills containing fentanyl from the driver's side door and several boxes of ammo in the trunk.

When officers searched the hotel room, they said they found over 14,000 counterfeit Percocet pills containing over 1,500 grams of fentanyl in 14 plastic zipper bags. The officers also reported recovering several loaded firearms.
