Alleged drug dealer of meth, fentanyl pleads guilty in Fresno, DOJ says. He faces prison
A Fresno man faces 10 years or more in prison and a potential fine of $10 million after pleading guilty to an attempt to deal methamphetamine and fentanyl, federal prosecutors said.
Bobby Hood, 65, of Fresno pleaded guilty Monday to possessing and intending to sell more than 40 grams of fentanyl and more than a pound of meth, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Prosecutors executed a search warrant Jan. 14, 2021, in Hood’s home and car and seized the drugs, a news release said.
His sentencing hearing is set for Aug. 7 by U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston, the DOJ said.
Hood faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years to life in prison and a $10 million fine.
This case is part of Operation Synthetic Opioid Surge, a program that is supposed to reduce the supply of deadly synthetic opioids in high impact areas as well as identifying international and domestic suppliers, prosecutors said.
