Shakeel Kahn, 57, was sentenced to 25 years in prison with five years of supervised release to follow for crimes involving drug distribution, firearms possession, and money laundering.
U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson imposed the sentence on January 3 in Cheyenne.
A federal jury convicted Khan on December 15, 2024, following a six-week trial before U.S. District Court Alan B. Johnson in Casper.
According to court records and trial evidence, between 2011 and 2016, Kahn was a licensed medical doctor who operated clinics in Casper, Wyoming, and Fort Mohave, Arizona.
Kahn unlawfully distributed drugs by writing prescriptions for large quantities of opioids without any legitimate medical need in exchange for cash payments from his customers.
Kahn possessed firearms in furtherance of his unlawful drug distribution, and at least one person died after overdosing on drugs distributed by Kahn.
The United States Supreme Court overturned the original convictions, which Khan was found guilty of in 2019, due to a faulty jury instruction.
