Amador County – The Amador County Combined Narcotics Enforcement Team made an arrest Tuesday in Stockton that led to the seizure of $23,000 in prescription drugs, and more than $37,000 in cash. The drugs and cash were shown to the media Wednesday for a photo opportunity. The drugs included 1,500 pharmaceutical pills, 2 mason jars of marijuana, a bowl of marijuana oil, 19 doses of steroids, and a large amount of cash. Narcotics unit Commander Jackie Long announced the arrest of Eric Fideldy, 25, of Stockton for numerous drug charges relating to pharmaceutical opiates, steroids and marijuana sales. The Amador County narcotics team concluded an investigation Tuesday with Fideldy’s arrest. Narcotics agents had received information of Fideldy’s “trafficking in pharmaceutical opiates that have been seized in Amador” County by the narcotics unit. Long said agents placed Fideldy under surveillance “and observed Fideldy conduct a marijuana sale.” Following that, agents arrested Fideldy and seized $1,840 in cash and 13 grams of marijuana. The narcotics unit “obtained a search warrant for his residence in Stockton,” where agents found an additional $35,876 in cash, plus various drugs and paraphernalia valued at $23,000. Narcotics agents confiscated 173 methadone pills; 637 Hydrocodone pills; and 347 pills of Oxycontin, each of 80 milligram doses. The agents also confiscated 63 valium pills; 287 unknown pharmaceutical pills; 19 vials of steroids; and 67 hypodermic syringes. Agents found 247 grams of marijuana; one container of “butane honey oil” (or marijuana oil); and 7 marijuana plants. Fideldy was transported and booked into the San Joaquin County Jail in French Camp for multiple charges for possession for sales of pharmaceutical opiates, steroids, and marijuana. His bail was set at $593,000, and he was scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday afternoon. Long said the “street value of the pharmaceutical opiates is believed to be in excess of $23,000.” The cash seized from Fideldy and at his home totaled $37,716.
