Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn, III has announced that a 38-year-old Fall River man pled guilty to Distribution of Fentanyl in the Fall River Superior Court.
Joshua Infantino was sentenced by the Honorable Raffi Yessayan to serve a state prison sentence of 3 to 4 years. The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Daniel Walsh.
On December 20th, 2023, a Trooper from the Massachusetts State Police contacted Infantino to set up a narcotics purchase. The defendant subsequently met with an undercover State Trooper and sold him a gram of fentanyl. Infantino was stopped a short time later by police.
He was in possession of the money that the undercover Trooper had provided during the purchase of the fentanyl.
Infantino has a history of jail time due to narcotics offenses. His bail on this case was revoked due to a subsequent arrest.
“The defendant has a history of drug involvement. It is no surprise that after being released on bail on this case, he was arrested again on new charges,” District Attorney Tom Quinn said.
