An 11:30 a.m. April 4 sentencing is scheduled in U. S. District Court in Springfield for Cody Dalton Romines, 40, Joplin, who pleaded guilty September 15 to a fentanyl trafficking charge.
The crimes committed by Romines were described in a news release issued June 10 after the grand jury indictment:
According to an affidavit filed in support of the original criminal complaint, a Missouri State Highway Patrol corporal saw Romines, driving a black Kia Optima, speeding on Interstate 44 in Jasper County on May 17, 2022.Officers attempted to stop Romines, who did not immediately stop but drove more than a mile before pulling over. Romines allegedly threw a Ziploc bag, which contained approximately 172 grams of fentanyl, out the passenger window of the vehicle before he pulled over.
Officers found the bag when they searched the ditch and shoulder area where they’d seen Romines throw it out.
