Mexican National to Serve More Than Eight Years in Prison for Cocaine Conspiracy and Illegal Ammunition Possession

OKLAHOMA CITY – JOSE TRINIDAD PEREZ FRAIRE, 38, of Mexico, has been sentenced to serve 105 months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute cocaine and being an illegal alien in possession of ammunition, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

According to public records, in May 2025, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) obtained information that Fraire was involved in cocaine distribution. On May 14, 2025, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Fraire’s residence and discovered approximately three kilograms of cocaine, more than $70,000 in cash, suspected drug ledgers, and ammunition.

On June 26, 2025, Fraire was charged by Information with a drug conspiracy and being an illegal alien in possession of ammunition. Fraire pleaded guilty on July 28, 2025, and admitted he conspired with others to possess and distribute cocaine and knowingly possessed ammunition despite his status as an illegal alien.

At the sentencing hearing on February 5, 2026, U.S. District Judge Patrick R. Wyrick sentenced Fraire to serve 105 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release. In announcing his sentence, Judge Wyrick noted the need for deterrence and to protect the public from further criminal activity.

This case is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Assistant U.S. Attorney Drew E. Davis prosecuted 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.
