One of the defendants, Marcos Carcamo, 25, was given a 48-month federal sentence for fentanyl and cocaine trafficking charges. At sentencing, Carcamo acknowledged that he possessed almost four pounds of fentanyl, along with a lesser amount of cocaine, which he planned to sell before he was arrested in San Francisco on Aug. 9.
Officers searched Carcamo’s Oakland home and seized methamphetamine, heroin, a firearm, ammo, a pill press for making drugs, and $59,000 in cash.
The other defendant, Raul Alexander Guisa-Ortega, 25, was sentenced to 36 months in prison for meth trafficking charges after being caught selling drugs, including fentanyl and meth, to an undercover officer on three separate occasions. When arrested Aug. 31, Guisa-Ortega admitted that knew the fentanyl he sold could be deadly, according to the release. Police found more drugs in his car and home after his arrest.
After completing their prison sentences, both men were also ordered to serve probation for an additional 3 years.
