Fremont man sentenced for running an underground drug ‘store’

Fremont man sentenced for running an underground drug ‘store’

DUBLIN — A Fremont man was sentenced to two years behind bars for transforming his residence into a secret store with a variety of illegal stimulants, sedatives, painkillers, and hallucinogens on display, court records show.

In a plea deal with Alameda County prosecutors, Hanibal Ocampo III, 34, pleaded no contest to possessing a controlled substance with a firearm. He was formally sentenced last month and is allowed to serve his sentence — which can be reduced by half with good behavior — at Santa Rita Jail, court records show. Prosecutors dropped nine other charges as part of the deal.

Ocampo’s home on Congress Court in Fremont was raided last year, after Concord police identified him as the suspected drug dealer for a woman who overdosed and died, court records show.

In the July 2024 raid, police seized 11 guns, a quarter-pound of pills containing fentanyl, seven pounds of MDMA, 2.2 pounds of cocaine, roughly 2,400 Xanax pills, 150 grams of ketamine, and 1.7 pounds of cutting agent, as well as smaller quantities of methamphetamine, LSD, and various hallucinogens. Ocampo’s then-girlfriend and two people who were present in his kitchen attempting to cook roughly 24 pounds of marijuana into edible products, according to police.

Police say the residence and storage unit both belonged to Ocampo, and that the home contained a room that had been converted into an unofficial “store” for drugs, complete with a menu, stocked shelves, and pricing information, authorities said. Police also seized an undisclosed amount of cash from the home. The other three people were charged, resulting in jail sentences of six days for one, four days for the other, and a complete case dismissal for the third, records show.

No charges have been filed against Ocampo in Contra Costa, where he was named as a suspect in the Dec. 28, 2023 overdose death of a woman named Katie Johnson. Authorities say Johnson checked herself into a Days Inn in Concord a day earlier, then texted Ocampo to arrange for “sexual activity” and for him to bring “blues,” slang for blue painkiller pills, to the hotel room.

The two had discussed deals for Xanax and “Norcos” started three days earlier, on Christmas, authorities allege.

Then, on the earlier afternoon of Dec. 28, 2023 another text from Ocampo’s phone came in, authorities allege.

“Did you make it to work mama?” the text read. By then, police had already discovered Johnson’s body inside the hotel room, and phoned the local coroner.
