俄勒冈州塞勒姆帮派头目向卧底售枪售毒 被判10年监禁

俄勒冈州马里恩县塞勒姆市一伙帮派的头目被判入狱,29岁的比弗顿市男子克里斯托弗·赫门斯11月5日在联邦法院被判处10年监禁,另加3年监管释放。赫门斯承认向他人转让枪支,检方指认他领导以塞勒姆为活动据点的“北十四街”帮派。
烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局自2023年7月起调查该帮派在塞勒姆地区的活动,卧底探员多次向赫门斯及其同伙购买枪支和毒品:2025年1月23日买走5支枪和1盎司可卡因,2月6日买走2支枪、2磅大麻和32克芬太尼,2月27日又协调出售122克芬太尼;警方2025年7月搜查其住所时查获19支枪。法官阿德里安娜·纳尔逊作出判决,俄勒冈联邦检察官斯科特·布拉德福德表示,赫门斯利用帮派关系扩大非法活动。赫门斯10月30日还在州法院认罪,州刑期与联邦刑期同时执行。
Salem Gang Leader Sentenced to 10 Years for Selling Guns and Drugs to Undercover Agents
SALEM, Ore. — The leader of a Salem-based gang has been sentenced to prison. Christopher Hermens, 29, of Beaverton, was sentenced in federal court on November 5 to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Hermens pleaded guilty to transferring firearms, and prosecutors identified him as the leader of the 'North 14th Street' (Varrio Catorce) gang based in Salem.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had investigated the gang's Salem-area activity since July 2023. Undercover agents repeatedly bought guns and drugs from Hermens and his associates: five guns and an ounce of cocaine on January 23, 2025; two guns, two pounds of marijuana and 32 grams of fentanyl on February 6; and a coordinated sale of 122 grams of fentanyl on February 27. A search of his home in July 2025 turned up 19 firearms. U.S. District Judge Adrienne Nelson imposed the sentence. Scott Bradford, the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, said Hermens used his gang ties to expand his illegal activity. Hermens also pleaded guilty in state court on October 30, with the state sentence to run concurrently with the federal term.
