A series of police raids and methamphetamine seizures have led to the discovery of suspected drug and gun rings. The investigation has resulted in a new federal case against a man who was supplied with drugs by the main suspect.
BAY POINT — A series of police raids , methamphetamine seizures and felony cases can all be tied back to Aug. 18, 2022.The discovery gave local drug investigators a glimpse into several suspected drug and gun rings around the county and led to a new federal case against a man Brown allegedly supplied with drugs, who fainted at his first court appearance and ended up hospitalized with cancer, according to court records.
The large-scale investigation started when investigators found a contact listed as “Grandma” in Brown’s phone. But the things they said weren’t very grandmotherly; authorities allege they found several text conversations where the two discuss drug deals, including a planned meetup in Martinez. The discovery led to the identification of the other phone user and raids in Brentwood and Oakland, where authorities seized a total of 80 pounds of methamphetamine, according to court records.
Pike was charged back in January with possessing methamphetamine with intent for distribution, but there was an unexpected hangup in his case. At his first appearance before a judge he fainted in open court and was hospitalized for weeks. A recently filed court record says Pike has been diagnosed with cancer and requires surgery, but has had trouble scheduling doctors appointments while incarcerated at Santa Rita Jail.
