A Millcreek man will spend two years in federal prison after police found approximately 11,000 fentanyl pills at his apartment and in his car.

U.S. District Court Judge David Sam sentenced Brajhan Luna-Vazquez, 24, on Monday, Nov. 9, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah. Luna-Vazquez also received five years of supervised release. Upon leaving prison, he will be turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation proceedings.

Luna-Vazquez pleaded guilty on Aug. 31 to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.

The case traces back to November 2025, when the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force opened an investigation into a group allegedly distributing fentanyl in Utah, according to federal court records. Detectives arranged a controlled purchase. During that buy, Luna-Vazquez arrived in a white sedan and sold fentanyl, court records state.

On March 18, detectives stopped the white sedan under a search warrant. Luna-Vazquez was the driver and sole occupant. Officers also executed a search warrant at his Millcreek apartment. Between the two searches, law enforcement recovered approximately 1,111 grams of fentanyl pills that field-tested positive for the drug.

Luna-Vazquez had been removed from the United States on Sept. 5, 2025, according to court records. He was also charged with illegal reentry of a previously removed alien.

He was initially charged by federal complaint on March 23 and later indicted by a grand jury. ABC4 also reported on the sentencing.

Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Pete Reichman prosecuted the case. The U.S. Attorney's Office said ICE provided assistance in the investigation.
