St. Louis, MO – Steven Robinson was sentenced to 144 months imprisonment today. Kyle Turner and Hali Wilson were each sentenced earlier this month to 84 months in prison. Additionally, each defendant was ordered to pay $8,150 restitution to the family of the deceased victim.
According to court documents, Turner and Wilson purchased the heroin from Robinson, and then dealt the drug to a St. Charles teen. The victim’s mother discovered his body the following morning. The medical examiner later determined that the victim had died of acute heroin intoxication.
Robinson, St. Louis, Missouri; Turner, O’Fallon, Missouri; and Hali Wilson, also of O’Fallon, Missouri; each pled guilty in December to one felony count of distribution of heroin. Robinson appeared today for sentencing before United States District Judge Henry Autrey.
This case was investigated by the St. Charles County Regional Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
