A Rochester man who sold a total of 21.1 grams of fentanyl to a confidential informant on two different occasions in Austin with a baby in his vehicle on both occasions in October of 2022 has been sentenced to supervised probation in Mower County District Court.
42-year old Tremond Dwayne Brooks was convicted and sentenced Thursday to five years of supervised probation for a felony charge of 2nd degree drugs, sale of 10 grams or more of a narcotic other than heroin within a 90-day period. A 58-month prison sentence was stayed for five years if Brooks complies with the 15 different conditions of his probation, and he was given credit for 13 days already served.
Brooks pleaded guilty to the charge on December 14th, 2023, and a felony charge for 3rd degree drugs, sale of a narcotic, plus a felony charge for being a violent felon in possession of a firearm stemming from a traffic stop performed by Austin Police on January 22nd, 2023 where Brooks was found in possession of loaded handgun were both dismissed with his guilty plea.
Brooks initially pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him on February 6th, 2023.
