Grand Rapids, a 39-year-old Kalamazoo man will spend 27 years in federal prison for distributing fentanil causing death and holding fentanil with the intention of distributing him.

“Fentanil continues to claim lives in Michigan and the United States,” said American lawyer Andrew Birge. “Defendants who sell this poison and kill people in this process must be brought in justice.

“My office is committed to disturbing the pipes that distribute these deadly drugs in our communities.”

Antjuan Pierre Jackson, 39 years old, was convicted of Judge of American District Jane M. Beckering on Thursday, February 27th.

At the conviction, Jackson was considered a career offender based on the two previous convictions for unarmed robbery, Birger said.

As he taught Jackson’s sentence, Beckering lamented the deep loss suffered by the victim’s family. She continued to state that the distribution of fentanel is “a business that has to be snatched.”

“Each opioid overdose, especially deaths, is tragic and it is a shame that Antjuan Jackson has chosen to be part of these types of lethal drugs,” said Kalamazoo public safety SGT.

However, Jackson continued to deal, Birger said.

Less than three weeks later, in December 2022, investigators found Jackson with over 80 grams of fentanyl in his home, as well as all the drug trafficking, including a digital scale, a mobile phone and packaging materials.
