Louis Taylor was the subject of an investigation brought by the Pinole Police Department as well as the Alameda County Narcotics Task Force, prosecutors said.
In February 2024, Pinole officers and the Alameda County task force executed a search warrant at Taylor’s residences in Oakland and Stockton. Authorities seized 11.86 pounds of cocaine, 1.2 pounds of cocaine base, 2.1 pounds of MDMA, 1.97 pounds of heroin, 21.2 grams of hydrocodone pills, 14.3 grams of marijuana, two handguns, two assault rifles (including an AK-47), and $54,307 in cash.
Taylor admitted to purchasing 4-5 kilograms of cocaine every 3-4 weeks in Stockton and transporting 2-3 kilograms to Oakland for sale, prosecutors said.
In May, Taylor pleaded no contest to felony charges, including possession for sale of cocaine, cocaine base, heroin, and hydrocodone, with enhancements for possessing over 4 kilograms of cocaine and being armed during the offense.
On Tuesday, a judge sentenced Taylor to eight years in state prison.
According to the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office, the Alameda County Narcotics Task Force sought prosecution by them due to its experience in handling complex drug trafficking cases, the office said.
