Brevard County Heroin Dealer Sentenced To 15 Years In Prison

Orlando, FL – Senior U.S. District Judge Kendall Sharp today sentenced Antwon Sexton (37, Cocoa) to 15 years in federal prison for conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute more than 100 grams of heroin. He pleaded guilty on May 28, 2015.

According to court documents, Sexton was a heroin dealer in Brevard County and had at least one source of supply in New Jersey.  He managed at least five others who acted as drivers and/or street level dealers and who also helped him obtain and distribute heroin.  During the investigation, agents purchased heroin from Sexton and identified several of his customers.

On March 4, 2015, Sexton arrived in downtown Orlando on a train that had originated in New Jersey.  When Sexton departed the train, agents saw that he was carrying a duffle bag.  He then got into a van and left the train station.  During a traffic stop, agents searched the van and located more than 300 grams of heroin in Sexton’s duffle bag. During the investigation, agents linked Sexton to more than 600 grams of heroin.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, and the Titusville Police Department.  It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David Haas.
