Andy Reanos-Moreno, Drug Trafficking, California 2019

Thirteen defendants, including Andy Reanos-Moreno, have been charged with engaging in a conspiracy to distribute controlled substances in a cross-Bay drug trafficking operation, announced United States Attorney David L. Anderson and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent in Charge Chris Nielsen.

The charges were made in a complaint filed July 31, 2019, and unsealed today following the arrest of 11 defendants.

The complaint, described by U.S. Attorney Anderson in a press conference today, is one of the first steps in the Federal Initiative for the Tenderloin (FIT). The initiative seeks to reduce crime in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco.

The complaint describes a conspiracy involving a large-scale drug-trafficking organization with networks extending across the Bay Area.

According to the complaint, Reanos-Moreno worked with Karol Erazo-Reanos to rent housing throughout the East Bay for persons, including 'redistributors,' who were part of the drug-distribution network.

The redistributors, including Allan Josue Funez Osorto, Brayan Martinez, Josue Natanael Perdomo Moreno, Jose Franklin Rodriguez Garcia, Cesar Estrada Cruz, Arnold Cruz Rodriguez, Christian Rodriguez-Valle, Alex Gomez Barrientos, Eric Montoya Marquez, and Kevin Arteaga-Morales, allegedly traveled to the Tenderloin neighborhood to sell drugs, often by carpooling together across the Bay Bridge.

According to the complaint, Reanos-Moreno, along with Manuel Arteaga, took drug orders on a nearly daily basis from the individuals living in houses across the East Bay.

The defendants are charged with engaging in a conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(C).

If convicted, the defendants face up to 20 years' imprisonment and between 3 years and a lifetime term of supervised release.

Further, additional fines, forfeitures, and restitution may be ordered; however, any sentence following conviction would be imposed by the court only after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3553.

The complaint contains allegations only and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
