Drug Dealer Sentenced to 5 Years
The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont has announced that Quentin Dingle has been sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Dingle, who is 39 and from Brooklyn, was arrested on September 26, 2023 following an extensive investigation into his drug distribution activity.
Police had learned that he was selling cocaine base in the area. Police informants fooled Dingle into selling them cocaine on five separate occasions.
Dingle was arrested outside the University Mall in South Burlington, leading to two more search warrants which yielded further evidence of drug crimes.
Police searched two storage units belonging to Dingle which contained 35.4 grams of fentanyl, 7.7 grams of cocaine base, 3.5 grams of fentanyl laced with xylazine, 2.58 grams of p-fluorofentanyl, other evidence of narcotics distribution, and a Beretta .380 caliber handgun.
He was charged with multiple drug sale charges, fentanyl trafficking, and cocaine possession.
His sentencing of 5 years and a 3-year term of supervised release was handed down on November 6 by Judge William K. Sessions III.
Burlington Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration worked closely together on this case.
