SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A federal grand jury returned a
three-count indictment today against Christian Henry Dorsch Jr., 49, of
Vacaville, charging him with possessing methamphetamine for distribution and
possession of a controlled substance, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott
announced.
According to court documents, on September 6, 2018, law
enforcement officers stopped Dorsch while he was driving in Vacaville and had a
warrant to search Dorsch, his home, and his cars for evidence of drug
trafficking. When the officers searched Dorsch’s car, they found approximately
one-half pound of methamphetamine in the center console, as well as a small
amount of cocaine elsewhere in the vehicle. When the officers searched Dorsch’s
home later that day, they found a small amount of methamphetamine in his
bedroom.
This case is the product of an investigation by the
Vacaville Police Department with special assistance from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s Solano County Violent Crimes Task Force, and the Solano County
District Attorney’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy H. Delgado is
prosecuting the case.
If convicted of the most significant charge, Dorsch faces a
mandatory minimum penalty of five years in prison, and a maximum penalty of 40
years in prison and a $5 million fine. Any sentence would be determined at the
discretion of the district court after considering any applicable statutory
factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. The charges are only
allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt.
