A Fresno man has been sentenced to more than 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to transporting drugs through the U.S. mail, according to the United States Attorney’s Office.
Isaac James Ocejo, 22, mailed several packages containing methamphetamine and fentanyl between July 2023 and October 2024, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of California.
In August 2024, Ocejo sold 10 pounds of methamphetamine to an individual in Fresno. The following month, he and co‑defendant Isaac Estrada sold an additional 10 pounds to an individual at Trolley Creek Park in Fresno in broad daylight, according to prosecutors.
According to a news release, the packages were mailed from Fresno addresses to other states. Ocejo mailed about 22 pounds of meth and more than 2 pounds of fentanyl, in total.
On Jan. 26, Ocejo pleaded guilty for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl. On Nov. 7, 2025, Estrada pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and distributing methamphetamine, and was sentenced to 46 months in prison in August 2025.

![Olive ridley sea turtle hatchlings have been released to the wild after eggs were successfully hatched at the non-profit Aquarium of the Pacific. In an unprecedented event, two olive ridley sea turtle nests were discovered in mid-September in Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, California. The discovery represents the first-ever confirmed instance of natural sea turtle nesting on the U.S. West Coast. The eggs were then relocated to the Aquarium for protection due to a tropical storm. The Aquarium was selected to care for the sea turtle eggs due to its expertise and resources for animal care.
