FRESNO, Calif. — Mike Marty Hernandez, 26, of Fresno, was sentenced to three years and one month in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Detectives arrested Hernandez on May 23, 2022, after observing him with a loaded firearm equipped with a large capacity magazine. Hernandez has a criminal record that includes a 2019 conviction for threatening a public official, making it unlawful for him to possess firearms or ammunition. The case was investigated by the FBI and the Fresno Police Department Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium (MAGEC).
Oshay Laray Pullen, 26, of Fresno, also received a three-year sentence for being a felon in possession of ammunition. He was on parole for an earlier assault with a firearm conviction when he was found with a firearm and a loaded magazine on Oct. 21, 2020. The case against Pullen was the result of an FBI and MAGEC investigation.
Andres Nunez, 25, was sentenced to seven years in prison for distributing fentanyl to a person under 21 years old and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense. Nunez delivered counterfeit M30 pills laced with fentanyl to a juvenile in February 2021. Firearms, including an automatic handgun, were found during his search. The investigation was conducted by FORT, a multi-agency team investigating fentanyl trafficking.
Leo Torres, 31, of Fresno, was sentenced to seven years and six months for conspiring to distribute and possess heroin and methamphetamine. He planned to smuggle drugs into the Fresno County Jail for inmates. Officers intercepted shoes containing hidden compartments with heroin and methamphetamine. HSI, DEA, and the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office investigated this case.
All four sentences are part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence in communities. The U.S. Department of Justice launched a strategic plan for PSN on May 26, 2021, to strengthen trust and legitimacy in communities, support prevention organizations, set focused enforcement priorities, and measure results.
