A federal judge in Kansas City today sentenced a heroin dealer who used the alias Robin Hood to 30 years without parole.
Robin M. Sims, 51, was convicted last year of participating in a conspiracy to distribute heroin from June 2012 to June 2013 and of aiding and abetting co-defendant Amy E. Jones, 52, to distribute heroin.
Sims was also found guilty five counts of distributing heroin and of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Also from the media release by federal prosecutors:
Evidence included undercover heroin buys and searches of their residence that found heroin, a digital scale and guns.
While officers were serving one search warrant, Sims put a plastic baggie full of heroin in his mouth and swallowed it.
After that, officers found a loaded gun under a bed.
Jones, who did not take the name Maid Marian, was sentenced last year to five years in federal prison.
