Three Santa Rosa men were arrested Wednesday and charged with conspiring to ship fentanyl-laced Oxycodone to cities in Tennessee, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville announced.
Matthew Cox, 26, Marcus Johnson, 24, and Ricardo Molinero-Alcarez, 27, were arraigned in federal court in the Northern District of California for conspiring to distribute and possessing with intent to distribute controlled substances in middle Tennessee.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) allege that the three men were identified in their investigation into fentanyl-laced pills, known as “M30s,” that were shipped from Santa Rosa to more than a dozen states. Authorities used surveillance, reviewed social media sites and examined mobile payment records to hone in on the Santa Rosa trio.
