A 45-year-old San Diego man was sentenced to 33 years and four months in federal prison this week after a jury found him guilty of running a large-scale methamphetamine distribution operation that pumped narcotics into Florida while laundering the proceeds back west. Omar Pitter heard his sentence following a four-day trial that ended in September 2025.

In February 2024, DEA agents in Florida started looking at Colin Zirpoli, a suspected meth distributor. It was the beginning of Pitter’s downfall. Zirpoli led agents to his supplier, Elizabeth Poff, who pointed to Tony Marsh. Marsh, in turn, led investigators to Hopeton Goslin.

That’s where the volume became impossible to ignore.

Search warrants executed at Goslin’s residence and storage unit turned up over 45 kilograms of meth. Goslin, Marsh, Poff, and Zirpoli all folded, pleading guilty and receiving federal sentences for their roles in the conspiracy.

But Goslin wasn’t the top of the food chain.

Agents traced the supply line back to San Diego, where they identified Pitter as Goslin’s source. Trial testimony showed that Pitter had been shipping cocaine and meth commercially since at least 2023. The numbers were staggering: an estimated 34 kilograms of cocaine and 697 pounds of methamphetamine sent east under the cover of routine freight.

When DEA agents traveled to California to arrest Pitter and search two locations tied to him, they uncovered more than just drugs. They identified another key player: Pitter’s longtime friend, Ciara Guss.

Text messages extracted from both phones painted a broader picture. Since 2021, Pitter and Guss had been shipping packages matching the size and weight of those sent to Goslin to destinations across the country. Guss acted as the broker, coordinating shipments and collecting payments. A jury found her guilty of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. She is now serving an 18-year federal sentence.

Inside Pitter’s residence, agents found the paper trail. Numerous money orders, some blank, others made out to fictitious names, were seized along with more than $400,000 worth of high-end jewelry.

That discovery pushed the investigation into financial territory.

DEA agents began scrutinizing Pitter’s girlfriend, Keona Fulton. Financial records showed Fulton maintained four bank accounts, including a business account, used to layer and co-mingle narcotics proceeds. Prosecutors demonstrated that the money flowed into luxury vehicles, designer clothing, and jewelry; classic laundering tactics with predictable endings.

Fulton was convicted at trial of conspiracy to commit money laundering and is awaiting sentencing.

For Pitter, the operation that spanned years, states, and shipping routes ended the same way these cases usually do: A jury verdict and a long prison sentence.
