Susan Yvonne Eversoll, 46, of Sacramento,
was sentenced this morning by U.S. District Court Judge Troy L. Nunley
to 18 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised
release and a $5,000 fine, for conspiring to traffic in counterfeit
goods, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Hi-Tech Crimes Task
Force. Assistant United States Attorney Michelle Rodriguez is
prosecuting the case.
According to court documents, law enforcement received information
about “Viagra” and “Cialis” being offered for sale through the Internet
on Craigslist. Law enforcement later conducted controlled drug purchases
of counterfeit Viagra from co-defendant Rickey Lee Campbell, 60, of
Sacramento, who used the alias “Diamond Jim.” Eversoll and Campbell’s
residences were searched and more than 6,000 counterfeit tablets
resembling Viagra and Cialis in shape, size, and color were found.
Authorities also recovered computers and electronic devices the
conspirators used to sell the counterfeit goods. Campbell has pleaded guilty to the conspiracy and is scheduled to be
sentenced on May 8, 2014. He faces up to 10 years in prison for his
leadership role in the conspiracy. His sentence, however, will be
determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any
applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines,
which take into account a number of variables.
