Chanta Hopkins, 41, was sentenced last month to seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to drug distribution and identity theft charges. His recent conviction comes after a previous seven-year sentence, from which he received compassionate release during the pandemic.
During a search of his Pleasanton apartment, federal authorities discovered 2.8 kilograms of cocaine, a handgun, and various identity theft materials, indicating a serious ongoing criminal involvement despite his previous rehabilitation efforts.
Hopkins' lawyer indicated that following his past arrests, Hopkins expressed a commitment to rehabilitation and plans to engage with programs in prison, highlighting a desire to move forward and take responsibility.
Despite potential Fourth Amendment violations during the search of his home, Hopkins opted not to challenge the legality of the search, which his lawyer presented as an act of taking responsibility for his actions.
