Fort Wayne Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Distribution
A Fort Wayne man has been sentenced to 70 months in prison for his role in distributing methamphetamine, according to court documents.
Carlos Prado, 40, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Holly A. Brady after pleading guilty to distribution of methamphetamine. The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney Thomas L. Kirsch II.
According to documents in the case, in July of 2016, Prado sold a confidential informant approximately 2 ounces of methamphetamine.
The distribution of methamphetamine is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences for individuals and communities. Prado’s sentence is a reflection of the severity of his actions.
The investigation into Prado’s activities was a collaborative effort involving the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Indiana State Police, the Allen County Police Department, and the Fort Wayne Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Anthony W. Geller.
Prado will be deported upon the completion of his sentence, highlighting the consequences of committing crimes while in the country illegally. The sentence serves as a warning to others who would engage in similar activities.
