Cody Bernal Carroll, a 31-year-old Ontario, Oregon, man, was involved in a methamphetamine distribution operation that caught the attention of law enforcement in January 2023. Carroll’s illicit activities included selling a half pound of methamphetamine on February 9, 2023, and approximately 50 grams of the same substance on February 23, 2023. The investigation led to the seizure of multiple firearms, including machine guns, from his residence. Carroll’s dealings ultimately led to his downfall, with a federal grand jury indictment on October 5, 2023, and a subsequent guilty plea on March 10, 2025.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon announced that Carroll was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison and four years of supervised release for his role in distributing methamphetamine. This sentence is a direct result of the collaborative efforts between the ATF, FBI, Treasure Valley Metro Violent Crime Task Force, Ontario Police Department, and Oregon State Police.
The investigation and prosecution of Carroll demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to combatting drug trafficking and related crimes. The presence of machine guns and other firearms in Carroll’s possession raises concerns about the potential for violence associated with his activities.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa E. LeRitz, with U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford overseeing the announcement. The sentencing of Carroll serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in illicit drug distribution and the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies in disrupting such operations.
