Johnny Bobby Truong, a 33-year-old resident of Sacramento, has been sentenced to 19 years in federal prison for his role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Dena M. Coggins, according to an announcement from U.S. Attorney Eric Grant.

Truong pleaded guilty to the charge on August 13, 2025.

Court documents indicate that between January 26, 2023, and May 10, 2024, Truong worked with others to distribute large quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin in the Sacramento area. He was identified as a key supplier for a Sacramento-based drug trafficking organization and operated a stash house used by the group. The organization included members of a violent criminal street gang operating in Sacramento.

The investigation into Truong’s activities was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Sacramento Police Department, the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department, and the California Highway Patrol. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hitt is prosecuting the case.

“This case is part of Operation Take Back America a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime,” according to officials.
