PHOENIX — An Arizona father and son were both sentenced to serve time in prison for dealing fentanyl, officials announced Thursday.
Agustin Nava-Nunez was sentenced on June 18 to serve 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit possession of a narcotic drug (fentanyl) for sale, according to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. Nava-Nunez also has one prior felony conviction.
Meanwhile, his son Agustin Nava Jr. was sentenced on May 20 to two years in prison, which will be followed by two year of supervised probation, for illegally conducting an enterprise and attempt to commit possession of a narcotic drug (fentanyl) for sale.
“My office has been directed to aggressively investigate and prosecute those who are part of the network of fentanyl dealers infiltrating our community,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in the announcement. “If you are contributing to the illegal distribution of fentanyl through Arizona. we will find you and we will bring you to justice.”
Details on investigation into Arizona father-son duo
According to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, investigators began the long-term investigation into the father-son duo in July 2024.
The investigation not only established Nava-Nunez was involved in illegal drug transactions, but through surveillance it was also determined that Nava Jr. would drive Nava-Nunez to the transaction and conduct them for him.
Last year on Oct. 21, investigators discovered that Nava-Nunez had possession of “two packages,” which prompted police to search his residence.
During the search, approximately 7,500 fentanyl pills were seized after being found in a trash can in the backyard.

More failed unrelated distractions from the actual story content being the sentencing of convicted drug smugglers? "Open borders", "The Mayflower"...
"REAL" experts that aren't obsessed with social justice activism, cite the North Atlantic Land Bridge (NALB), a now-submerged landmass that once connected Europe and North America during the Paleogene period. This same landmass was crucial for the migration of plants, animals and even early human species between the two continents.
America has had what you call "open borders" since the Mayflower landed on Plymouth! If you don't like drugs then don't consume drugs......simple!
We need enhanced life in prison sentencing guidelines for those involved in the fentanyl trade.
These fentanyl transactions outlined in the article occurred under Bumbling Biden's nap time when we had an endless parade of cabinet secretary liars tell us under oath how secure the lawless open border had become under their watch.
