DENVER (KDVR) -- A man who was found guilty of producing “millions of individual fentanyl pills” in a drug manufacturing operation based in Aurora was sentenced to 145.5 years in prison, the Denver District Attorney's Office announced Friday.

Tashon Roberts, 33, was convicted on four charges related to the manufacture, possession and distribution of fentanyl.

He ran the operation out of two home laboratories in Aurora between January and August 2024, according to the DA.
