U.S. District Court Judge William H. Steele imposed a 77-month prison sentence on the 27-year-old on October 29 Christopher Teague on the two charges.

He pleaded guilty to the charges.

Court documents revealed that from approximately July to approximately December 2023, Teague conspired with others to distribute fentanyl throughout Mobile.
