A Providence man is heading to federal prison for six-years for trafficking methamphetamine.
Forty-year-old Charles Bersch and his co conspirators were arrested in 2022 after police found large quantities of meth and more than eleven-thousand-dollars cash in their vehicle.
According to information presented to the court, in May 2022, a member of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force was conducting surveillance outside a Cranston residence as part of an ongoing FBI investigation. While outside the residence, the task force officer saw Bersch and another person, Peter Walkovich, 30, of Pepperrell, MA, arrive by car and enter the building. The task force officer had developed information that Walkovich was in possession of a significant quantity of methamphetamine.
U.S. Attorney Zachary Cunha says Bersch and the others had been under surveillance as part of an ongoing FBI investigation.
