Antoine Tate, 43, pleaded guilty to charges of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, cocaine, and oxycodone and possession of a firearm. The charges stem from an incident on October 31, 2020.

Tate is scheduled for sentencing on March 19, 2025, where he faces a minimum of five years and up to life in prison, a fine of up to $2,250,000, or both. His sentence will be determined based on the seriousness of the offenses and Tate's prior criminal history.
