Central Falls Man Sentenced To 5 Years In Federal Prison For Fentanyl Distribution

A Central Falls man was sentenced to five years in prison for the distribution of fentanyl.

Christian Carrion, 33, pleaded guilty in March.

"According to court documents, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force conducted an investigation that identified Carrion as involved in fentanyl distribution," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a media release.

"As part of that investigation, Carrion sold approximately 56 grams of fentanyl to another individual in May 2025," the release said. "A search warrant executed at Carrion’s residence approximately two weeks later also resulted in the seizure of cocaine."
