Abused Position of Trust as an Attorney to Further his Drug Trafficking Activities

POCATELLO, Idaho – 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.

“The Drug Enforcement Administration and our partners work hard to hold people accountable for drug trafficking offenses, regardless of their jobs or backgrounds,” said David F. Reames, Special Agent in Charge, DEA Seattle Field Division.  “I am proud of the work our team has done in this case and grateful for the strong message this sentence sends to others who would violate the ethical standards of our society.”

“This is a disturbing case in which at attorney endangered his community and jeopardized the integrity of the criminal justice system by distributing deadly drugs,” said U.S. Attorney Hurwit.  “Upholding the rule of law means investigating crimes where they should be least expected to occur and holding everyone to the same standards, especially professionals who took an oath to uphold the law.  My office is lucky to have law enforcement partners who feel the same way.”

“Teamwork is the cornerstone of successful law enforcement, and this case exemplifies what can be achieved when multiple agencies work together,” said Lieutenant Clint Skinner, Idaho State Police.  “By leveraging the expertise and resources of local, state, and federal partners, we were able to dismantle a dangerous drug network and hold those responsible accountable.”

U.S. Attorney Hurwit thanked the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Idaho Falls Police Department, the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Idaho State Police for their work and collaboration on this case.

This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.
