According to court documents, a federal agent contacted Gonzalez in late May 2024 and arranged a controlled purchase of about 1,350 grams of methamphetamine.On June 1, 2024, Gonzalez traveled to Salem. Drug Enforcement Administration investigators watched him retrieve meth from a second car before delivering about 1,377 grams of the drug, roughly three pounds, in exchange for payment.A federal arrest warrant was issued for Gonzalez in November 2024. On Jan. 18, 2025, Gonzalez was stopped during a traffic stop and gave officers a false name. Despite the lie, officers identified Gonzalez and caught him on an outstanding warrant in a separate Marion County case involving a convicted felon in possession of a gun. He was later transferred to federal custody in this case.Gonzalez pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance on Nov. 13, 2025. Court records show Gonzalez had previously been convicted of meth trafficking and removed from the U.S. to Mexico. After illegally returning to the U.S., he resumed criminal activity and served as a middleman for a large-scale drug trafficking organization operating in the Salem area.Prosecutors noted that neither his prior felony drug trafficking conviction nor his removal from the U.S. stopped him from returning to drug trafficking. Prosecutors also noted that Gonzalez engaged in separate gun-related criminal conduct as a convicted felon, including an incident in which he fired a gun outside a nightclub."After a felony drug trafficking conviction and removal from the United States, this defendant unlawfully returned and went right back to serious criminal conduct," U.S. Attorney Scott Bradford said. "Not only did he distribute large quantities of methamphetamine – a drug that fuels addiction, violence, and suffering in our communities – but he also engaged in separate firearm-related criminal activity as a convicted felon. Repeat offenders who show this level of disregard for our laws and public safety will be prosecuted aggressively and held accountable."The Drug Enforcement Administration investigated this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Julia Jarrett of the District of Oregon prosecuted it.</div></body>
