Feds charge man with possessing 7.8 lbs of fentanyl in San Francisco street bust, faces maximum life sentence
SAN FRANCISCO — A 24-year-old man has been charged in federal court with crimes that carry a potential life sentence for allegedly possessing 7.8 pounds of fentanyl and other drugs, court records show.
The fentanyl distribution charge carries a maximum term of life in federal prison, the court indictment says. U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler did order Ramos detained without bail, but did not seem swayed by federal prosecutors’ argument on the dangers of the drug. In her detention order, Beeler noted Ramos, “a native of Honduras, lacks significant ties to the Northern District of California and does not possess the type of employment or family stability that would reasonably assure his appearance at future federal court proceedings.
