Diante Jarrel Lewis’ mugshot from an unrelated 2021 drug arrest. (Credit: Lee County Sheriff’s Office) The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida says a Fort Myers man will spend more than 15 years in federal prison for selling drugs. The US Attorney’s Office says Diante Jarrel Lewis, 32, was sentenced to 15 years and eight months for two instances of selling fentanyl and one instance of selling methamphetamine. According to court documents, Lewis was charged with distributing fentanyl in May 2022. Court documents say Lewis was charged with distributing over 50 grams of meth during that same period. The US Attorney’s Office says Lewis qualified as a career offender under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines based on his criminal history. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.
