Medford Man Sent Back to Prison After Dark Web Cocaine Parcels Trigger Federal Sting

MEDFORD, Ore. —  An Oregon man on federal supervised release for distributing cocaine was again sentenced to federal prison in Medford, Oregon, earlier this week for attempting to sell cocaine he had bought on the dark web.

Dominick Jeffrey Aragon (32) was sentenced to five years in federal prison and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to attempted possession with the intent to distribute cocaine when he previously appeared in court on September 29, 2025, in Medford.

The Cocaine was Posted to His and a Friend’s Addresses

According to court documents, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) and the Rogue Area Drug Enforcement (RADE) task force (which includes the Grants Pass Police Department) intercepted a parcel containing one ounce of cocaine in February 2025.

That parcel, as well as another containing two ounces of cocaine, posted a month later, were addressed to Aragon at his residence.

The ongoing investigation led to the seizure of two additional parcels containing controlled substances addressed to an acquaintance of Aragon.

The case was prosecuted by John C. Brassell, Assistant Attorney, and Olivia Mendez, Special Assistant Attorney, Oregon District.

RADE is a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force supported by the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, which includes members from the Oregon State Police, the Grants Pass Police Department, Josephine County Probation & Parole, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
