A Vallejo man, described as a “prolific” drug dealer, was recently arrested for narcotics and weapons charges stemming from an extensive investigation, the Marin County Sheriff’s Department reported in a press release
In 2021, Specialized Investigative Unit (SIU) Detectives developed information that led them to believe a subject by the name of Christopher Rougeau was selling crystal methamphetamine and marijuana throughout the Bay Area including Marin County.
An investigation was opened and an undercover SIU Detective contacted Rougeau and arranged to purchase a quarter pound of crystal methamphetamine from him. This transaction occurred in the Novato area. During the ensuing investigation, Rougeau offered to sell the undercover officer methamphetamine on several more occasions, but these transactions did not occur.
“Surveillance was conducted on Rougeau,” the press release stated, “and detectives saw that he was armed with more than one handgun on several occasions. A plan was developed to take Rougeau into custody on April 20. He was followed to a location in Vallejo, Ca. where he was contacted by SIU Detectives while in the driver’s seat of his car. At the time of his arrest, he had a loaded pistol in his waistband and a loaded un-serialized Polymer 80 Glock clone pistol within arm’s reach inside of his vehicle.”
During the execution of the search warrant of Rougeau’s vehicle and residence, SIU detectives located the following: 2 devices called “Glock Switches” (which turn a Glock pistol into a fully automatic machine gun), a sawed off pistol grip shotgun, another pistol, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, several suspected controlled substances including; over a quarter pound of crystal methamphetamine, approximately 1 ounce of cocaine, approximately 1 ounce of heroin, counterfeit M-30 pills containing fentanyl, and over 60 pounds of marijuana.
Rougeau was booked at the Solano County Jail on multiple charges.
