ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis man has been sentenced to prison for dealing drugs at the Saint Louis Galleria mall in 2018.
Emanuel Mays, 29, was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
On Nov. 5, 2018, an undercover St. Louis County detective bought fentanyl from a man named Derrick George, according to a press release.
Detectives who were conducting surveillance before the buy saw an Infiniti heading to the location of the buy, which was the Galleria. Mays was in the car along with George and Larry Calloway.
When they arrived at the mall, George approached the undercover officer’s car and gave him 13 capsules of fentanyl, the release said. The officer gave George $60 before he was arrested.
Mays and Calloway tried to get away in the Infiniti before Mays got out and ran away from the area. Mays was arrested after he ran into a dead end, according to the release.
Officers found the key fob for the Infiniti on Mays and a cell phone.
The following items were found in the Infiniti:
