The federal trial for two Fallon residents accused of selling spice has been continued until April 1.
Gurpreet Lail Singh and Ranjeet Singh will appear in U.S. District Court on numerous charges of distributing the synthetic marijuana. Their trial was originally slated for Jan. 21.
The duo, along with James Christensen and Parvin Rajput, were arrested on Feb. 6, 2013, by the Drug Enforcement Agency, Fallon Police Department and the North Central Narcotics and Tri-NET task forces.
A federal grand jury returned a second superseding indictment Sept. 11 against Gurprett Singh and Ranjeet Singh, who were arrested in connection with selling spice.
Authorities seized 2.78 pounds of spice and approximately 100 smoking pipes, according to federal records.
Parvin Rajput and James Christensen each entered their pleas in October and will be sentenced in February. Rajput, who pleaded on Oct. 10, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years, a $1 million fine or both. There is no mandatory minimum sentence in his case and his hearing is scheduled for Monday.
According to the plea agreement, the United State will recommend the court sentence Rajput to the “low-end” of the sentencing guidelines.
Rajput pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute a controlled substance and controlled substance analogue, according to the plea agreement. In addition, he waives his right to withdraw the plea, while the federal government agrees not to bring any additional charges.
Christensen, meanwhile, entered pleas to three counts of possession of a controlled substance analogue intended for human consumption. He faces one year in prison for each count, a $100,000 fine or both.
Christensen admitted he possessed spice on three different occasions on July 6, 2012. He will be sentenced Feb. 11.
