Woodstock Drug Dealer Sentenced to 30 Years for Fentanyl and Methamphetamine Trafficking

CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. – A Woodstock man has been sentenced to 30 years after pleading guilty to multiple fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking charges stemming from an undercover narcotics investigation, according to the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office.

District Attorney Susan K. Treadaway announced that 35-year-old Quentodd Montell Pinkins entered a negotiated guilty plea on June 2 and was sentenced to 30 years, with the first 15 years to be served in prison and the remaining 15 years on probation.

Pinkins pleaded guilty to three counts each of sale of fentanyl, trafficking in fentanyl and illegal use of a communication facility, along with one count of trafficking in methamphetamine.

The charges resulted from a 2025 investigation conducted by the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad after investigators received information that Pinkins was distributing fentanyl and methamphetamine in Woodstock.

According to prosecutors, undercover agents completed four controlled purchases of fentanyl from Pinkins at locations near Highway 92. The final transaction occurred on March 19, 2025, when Pinkins allegedly sold approximately seven grams of fentanyl.

Authorities arrested Pinkins later that day, and members of the Cherokee County SWAT team executed search warrants at his residence and vehicle.

Investigators recovered trafficking quantities of fentanyl and methamphetamine, along with marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, a digital scale, cards containing trace amounts of fentanyl, a Smith & Wesson .357-caliber revolver and $1,411 in cash.

Laboratory testing by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Division of Forensic Sciences confirmed the seized narcotics included trafficking quantities of fentanyl and methamphetamine.

In addition to the prison sentence, Superior Court Judge Shannon Wallace ordered Pinkins to pay a $200,000 fine and comply with special conditions of probation following his release.

Assistant District Attorney Leland McElveen prosecuted the case. The investigation was conducted by the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad with assistance from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, the Cherokee County SWAT team and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
