Law Enforcement Officers Seize Nine Kilos of Heroin, One Kilo of Fentanyl, from Defendant

Gulfport, Miss. – Eric Estudillo-Carrazco, 28, of Norcross, Georgia, pled guilty yesterday before U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, 400 grams or more of fentanyl and 5 kilograms or more of cocaine, announced U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst and Jere T. Miles, Special Agent in Charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations in New Orleans.

On November 6, 2018, Estudillo-Carrazco and two co-defendants arrived in Gulfport to sell heroin to a confidential informant. They claimed to have ten kilograms of heroin hidden in a compartment of their vehicle. All three were arrested shortly thereafter. The substance was eventually tested and found to contain nine kilograms of heroin and one kilogram of fentanyl.
