Akron man indicted for having fentanyl and cocaine

An Akron man was indicted in federal court for having fentanyl and cocaine.

Lexington Jacobs, 24, was indicted on one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and one count of possession with intent to distribute fentnaly.

Jacobs had the drugs on December 9, 2018, according to the indictment.

If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal records, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation.  In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.

The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Akron Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Peter E. Daly.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt.  A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
