   A former Riverside County Sheriff’s Department correctional deputy faces a   
   series of local felony charges after he was allegedly caught with more than   
   100 pounds of fentanyl and a gun.   
      
   Banning resident Jorge Oceguera-Rocha, 25, was pulled over in Calimesa on   
   Sept. 17, and authorities allegedly found a gun and narcotics, the Riverside   
   County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.   
      
   The Sheriff’s Department confirmed that Oceguera-Rocha had been under   
   investigation for playing “a pivotal role of trafficking large quantities of   
   narcotics within Riverside County while off duty.”   
      
   On Tuesday, the Sheriff’s Department detailed that the drugs in question   
   were fentanyl pills, of which Oceguera-Rocha had 104 pounds.   
      
   Federal prosecutors declined to file charges against him, but Riverside   
   County officials charged Oceguera-Rocha with possession of narcotics,   
   transportation with the intent to distribute narcotics, weight enhancements   
   for the narcotics and possession of a firearm while in possession of   
   narcotics.   
      
   He is being held at the John Benoit Detention Center in lieu of $5 million   
   bail.   
      
   The RCSD said the large bail figure was “based on the weight amount, danger   
   to the public and potential for Oceguera-Rocha to flee from prosecution.”   
      
   If convicted of all charges, he could be sentenced to up to 10 years in   
   jail, the DA’s office said.   
      
   At the time of his arrest, Oceguera-Rocha was a deputy at the Larry D. Smith   
   Correctional Facility, a position he resigned before he could be fired.   
      
   His next court date is scheduled for Oct. 31.
