October 12, 2024 Sandra Kinney # Eastern Idaho Attorney Sentenced to 42 Months in Federal Prison for Drug Trafficking Conspiracy
POCATELLO – Robin Dwain Dunn, 69, of Rigby, was sentenced to 42 months in federal prison for his role in a drug trafficking conspiracy in Eastern Idaho. Senior U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Dunn to pay a $50,000 fine and to serve three years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
Court records indicate that from June 2022 to February 2023, Dunn—an attorney practicing in Eastern Idaho—agreed with clients and others to distribute controlled substances. During the conspiracy, Dunn and a client made two trips to the Salt Lake City area to pick up methamphetamine and fentanyl. Dunn and the client then brought the drugs back to Idaho for distribution to others.
Court records further indicated that in November 2022, Dunn caused fentanyl to be distributed into a correctional facility (the Bonneville County Jail) to an inmate client. Dunn agreed that he abused a position of trust by using his position as an attorney to further his drug trafficking activities.
