Defendant Sentenced to Federal Prison for Methamphetamine Trafficking
Medford, Ore.—Tom Raymond Carroll, 39, was sentenced to 151 months in federal prison and five years’ supervised release for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation in Eastern Oregon.
According to court documents, in February 2021, special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) identified Carroll as a drug dealer operating in Baker and Malheur Counties. Carroll had recently been released from Oregon state prison following convictions for drug trafficking and illegally possessing a firearm.
On February 20, 2021, law enforcement conducted a controlled purchase of methamphetamine and heroin from Carroll. During the transaction, Carroll warned the purchasers to be careful because someone had recently died from the drugs he was distributing.
In early May 2021, law enforcement obtained and executed state search warrants for Carroll’s vehicle and person and a hotel room he was renting in Baker City, Oregon. A backpack found in his hotel room contained more than two pounds of methamphetamine, a stolen firearm, drug ledgers and paraphernalia, and more than $20,000 in cash.
This case was investigated by ATF with assistance from the Baker City Police Department, Baker County Sheriff’s Office, Malheur County Sheriff’s Office, Ontario Police Department, and Oregon State Police. It was prosecuted by Marco A. Boccato, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
Carroll pleaded guilty to possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine on March 20, 2023. His lengthy criminal history and the severity of the crimes committed will keep him behind bars for the next 12.5 years.
