A 21-year-old Colombian national, residing illegally in Kearns, Utah, is staring down a 5-year prison sentence after getting caught with a massive haul of fentanyl.
David Estiven Alvear Carcamo’s troubles began on March 4, 2025, when agents from the Wasatch Metro Drug Task Force, comprising the FBI and the Davis Metro Narcotics Strike Force, executed a search warrant on his residence and vehicle.
The search revealed a staggering 10,000 fentanyl pills, alongside a handgun, according to court documents and statements made during Carcamo’s sentencing and change of plea hearings.
Carcamo pleaded guilty via felony information on January 20, 2026, and was subsequently sentenced to 60 months’ imprisonment by U.S. District Court Judge David Barlow.
The sentence also includes four years of supervised release, after which Carcamo will be remanded to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation proceedings.
