SAN FRANCISCO – Henry Jovany Sevilla, 26, a Honduran national, was sentenced yesterday to 48 months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and heroin.  U.S. District Judge James Donato handed down the sentence.

Sevilla was initially charged by complaint on May 15, 2024, and by information on May 30, 2024.  In December 2024, he pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, and one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin.  According to court documents, on May 14, 2024, officers observed Sevilla engaging in three hand-to-hand sales of drugs in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco.  When he was arrested, he was found in possession of various amounts of heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl.

Sevilla has remained in custody since his arrest and was remanded into custody following sentencing.  In addition to the term of imprisonment, Judge Donato ordered Sevilla to serve three years of supervised release to begin after his prison term is completed.
