A Summit County man was sent back to prison Monday after committing drug offenses while on parole.
According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Darren Tibbets, 36, of Akron, was sentenced to 144 months, or 12 years, in prison.
Tibbets received 24 months in prison, or two years, for violating the terms of his supervised release after being imprisoned for a prior drug offense.
He was also sentenced to 120 months, or ten years in prison, according to the DOJ, after pleading guilty in December 2025 to the following charges:
- Conspiracy to distribute heroin and fentanyl
- Distribution of heroin and fentanyl
According to the Department of Justice, both sentences will be served concurrently.
Court documents show that in 2025, federal agents began investigating suspected drug trafficking in Akron.
During the investigation, authorities discovered that Tibbets was actively involved in illegal drug trafficking.
The DOJ reported that agents seized roughly 21 grams of heroin and fentanyl from Tibbets.
