A Vallejo man who ran a methamphetamine trafficking business out of the back of a care home he ran was found guilty of possessing and distributing meth and a weapons charge, U.S. Attorney Phillip Talbert announced Friday.
After a six-day trial, Henry Benson, 42, was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute and manufacture methamphetamine-laced pills, four counts of distributing or possessing with intent to sell the pills, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. From January 2015 to his arrest in February 2019, Benson produced and sold thousands of meth-laced pills, prosecutors said. He made the pills with a pill press, which compresses powders into tablets.
7, 2019, authorities searched Benson's residence in the backrooms of an elder care facility in Vallejo that he ran with his wife, co-defendant Roselle Cipriano. At the Genesis Care Home for the Elderly on Lewis Avenue, agents found the pill press, pills, bags of powders and other items for pressing pills, along with a 12-gauge shotgun. A search of Benson's storage unit also yielded more pill presses.
