Marcus Miller of Sacramento pled guilty to charges including trafficking over 400,000 fentanyl pills nationally, with law enforcement seizing pills hidden in toys.<\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 A Sacramento man pleaded guilty for his part in shipping over 400,000 fentanyl pills across the United States.<\/p>\n

Marcus Miller, 36, pled guilty to 15 counts of drug trafficking offenses and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The office said Miller and his co-conspirators shipped the pills throughout the country for over a year. The office said on several occasions, packages were seized by law enforcement where fentanyl pills were found inside children\u2019s toys.<\/p>\n

Officials said hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills, 17 firearms, and over $80,000 in cash were seized by agents during searches connected to the conspiracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Agents found some of the pills and a firearm inside a hidden compartment in Miller\u2019s vehicle. He is prohibited from owning a firearm due to past felony convictions, according to the office.<\/p>\n

Miller faces a mandatory sentence of at least 10 years in prison, a maximum statutory penalty of life in prison, and a $10 million fine, the office said. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 8, 2026.<\/p>\n
