CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A Cape Coral man will spend the next ten years in prison.  

Tafawah Horrobin, 39 is sentenced for conspiring to distribute heroin and fentanyl.

An investigation led deputies to a home in Lehigh Acres where Travis Lee Watkins and Michael Horrobin lived but where Tafawah Horrobin frequented.

The Lehigh Acres residence served as a “safe house” for a drug distribution ring where large quantities of controlled substances were stashed for safekeeping.

Investigators found and arrested Tafawah Horrobin who confessed to distributing more than $10,000 in heroin and fentanyl for the organization monthly.

Law enforcement also seized various items used to facilitate the distribution of drugs, an illegally possessed firearm, and cash.

 In the Lehigh Acres home, law enforcement seized approximately one kilogram of heroin, about 400 grams of cocaine, smaller amounts of crack cocaine and

methamphetamine, and four firearms.
