A South Bend man has been sentenced in U.S. District Court to 78 months in prison on drug and weapons-related charges.

It was back in May of last year when federal prosecutors say Mustafaa Slim, 29, twice sold a heroin/fentanyl substance to an individual.

A search warrant executed at Slim’s residence resulted in the recovery of 3 firearms, fentanyl/methamphetamine, cocaine, and over $8,000.00 in cash.

Slim pleaded guilty to possessing with intent to distribute controlled substances and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

This is Slim’s third conviction involving guns and his second involving drugs.

Slim’s prior felony convictions preclude him from possessing the firearms.
