Woman sentenced to 2.75 years in Arizona prison for trying to sell fentanyl pills

PHOENIX – A woman who tried to sell over 1.5 pounds of fentanyl pills in Arizona was sentenced to nearly three years in prison last week, authorities said.

Geraldine Aboyte previously pleaded guilty to one count of attempt to sell a narcotic drug, a Class 3 felony, according to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.

In June 2025, Aboyte was indicted on four charges for her role in a drug conspiracy. A co-conspirator in the case, Humberto Martin Osuna Jr., was indicted on 27 counts.

Aboyte tried to sell about 1.6 pounds of fentanyl pills to a third party in April 2025, prosecutors said.

Last Wednesday, a Pima County Superior Court judge sentenced Aboyte to 2.75 years in prison. She also was ordered to pay $4,500 to the state’s anti-racketeering revolving fund and $2,800 to the Arizona Department of Public Safety for investigative costs.

“Fentanyl is killing Arizonans, and my office will hold those who sell these deadly drugs accountable,” Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a press release. “There are serious consequences for trafficking illicit drugs in our communities.”
