Two Oakland residents from Honduras were sentenced Friday to multi-year prison terms for selling fentanyl and methamphetamines in the San Francisco Tenderloin and other parts of the Bay Area, according to a press release of the Department of Justice published Friday.
One of the defendants, Marcos Carcamo, 25, received a 48-month federal sentence for trafficking fentanyl and cocaine. At sentencing, Carcamo admitted that he possessed nearly four pounds of fentanyl, as well as a smaller amount of cocaine, which he planned to sell before being arrested in San Francisco on August 9.
Officers searched Carcamo’s Oakland home and seized methamphetamine, heroin, a firearm, ammunition, a drug-making pill press and $59,000 in cash.
The other defendant, Raul Alexander Guisa-Ortega, 25, was sentenced to 36 months in prison for methamphetamine trafficking after he was caught selling drugs, including fentanyl and methamphetamine, to an undercover agent three times. During his arrest on Aug. 31, Guisa-Ortega admitted that he knew the fentanyl he was selling could be deadly, according to the release. Police found other drugs in his car and at his home after his arrest.
After serving their prison terms, both men were also ordered to serve a probationary period of an additional three years.
