East Bay drug trafficker sentenced to six years in federal prison

BAY POINT — A “significant drug supplier” in the East Bay is headed to federal prison for six years, prosecutors said. Carson Fries, 34, of Bay Point, received the sentence Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Oakland. Initially charged by criminal complaint in 2025 and again by information earlier this year, Fries pleaded guilty on July 29 to possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture containing methamphetamine, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said Fries admitted to selling “large quantities of meth” on at least three occasions in 2025 — 478 grams on Aug. 29, 518 grams on Sept. 3 and 506 grams on Sept. 9. “Fries was a significant drug supplier in Contra Costa County,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. A search of Fries’ home turned up 160 grams of methamphetamine, 33 guns and a stockpile of ammunition, according to prosecutors. In addition to the prison term, U.S. District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr. sentenced Fries to four years of supervised release. Gợi ý thực hành: 1. Theo dõi thông báo từ cơ quan địa phương tại California. 2.
