Sandston man receives year in jail for intention to distribute drugs in New Kent

A Sandston man will spend a year in jail for having intentions to distribute drugs in New Kent County.

Felix John Gill, 51, of the 1200 block of Grapevine Road, entered a guilty plea to a single count of possession with intent to distribute a Schedule I/II substance as part of a plea agreement reached Monday in New Kent Circuit Court. An additional possession with intent to distribute charge and one charge of manufacturing a Schedule I/II substance was dropped as part of the agreement.

In a summary of evidence provided by New Kent Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Renick, on Feb. 5, 2024, the Twin Rivers Drug Task Force conducted a control buy with a confidential informant, with Gill being the target. The informant received funds and purchased $80 worth of drugs from Gill. The substance was returned to authorities, who sent the items to a forensics lab. A test revealed that the substance was methamphetamine.

Under the agreement, Gill received a 20-year sentence with 19 years suspended (one year to serve) for the crime, along with a $1,000 fine. He was also found guilty of a felony failure to appear, resulting in an additional $250 fine.
