ALEXANDRIA, VA — A drug dealer tied to both Lorton and Fredericksburg has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for pushing fentanyl and cocaine in Northern Virginia—and illegally arming himself while doing it.
Federal prosecutors say 31-year-old D’Quinta Arastoo Hill was the supplier behind a months-long drug operation that put hundreds of grams of fentanyl on the streets, including fake pills disguised as prescription medication.
According to court documents, from late 2022 through mid-2025, undercover agents bought fentanyl and cocaine multiple times in both Lorton and Fredericksburg. Investigators linked the source of those drugs to Hill.
When law enforcement searched his Lorton home in early 2023, they found two guns, 55 fentanyl pills, and cocaine. Another gun was recovered at his Fredericksburg residence in May 2025.
“D’Quinta Hill flooded our communities with fentanyl – one of the most lethal drugs confronting our nation,” said U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan. “Every two milligrams of fentanyl he put into circulation represented a potential overdose, loss of life, and another grieving family.”
The DEA says Hill’s arrest removed a serious threat from local neighborhoods. “This criminal posed a serious threat to the lives of many residents, not just with firearms but also with fentanyl,” said DEA Washington Division Special Agent in Charge Christopher Goumenis. “By investigating and apprehending this individual, we are saving lives and making our communities safer.”
One of the guns found in Hill’s Lorton apartment had been bought illegally by 34-year-old Danielle Nicole Johnson of Alexandria. Johnson admitted she lied on firearm paperwork to buy the gun for Hill, a convicted felon who legally can’t possess firearms. She was sentenced in December to just over a year in prison.
Hill also supplied fentanyl to Gordon Dupree Jackson, 32, of Boston, Virginia. Jackson—himself a repeat offender—pleaded guilty to distributing the drug and was sentenced to 15 years in July 2025.
All three are now behind bars, part of what federal officials say is a broader push to cut off fentanyl supply chains in the region and reduce overdose deaths.
