Cincinnati Trafficker Gets 10-Year Federal Sentence for Fentanyl and Meth

Overview

• Court documents state Dominic Lindsey, 35, was responsible for more than a kilogram of methamphetamine and bulk quantities of fentanyl and a fentanyl analogue.
• In January 2024 he sold narcotics as a high‑level trafficker, was charged federally in April 2024, and pleaded guilty in November 2025.
• The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced the sentence after an FBI investigation, and a federal judge imposed a 120‑month term.
• Officials note a near two‑decade record that includes multiple drug and firearm convictions and an aggravated assault, and he was under court supervision during the federal offense.
• Authorities and local reporting highlight that his fentanyl was mixed with xylazine, which can blunt naloxone’s effect and was labeled an emerging threat by the White House in 2023.
