Texas Man Eliuth Montero-Barrera Sentenced to 9 Years for Meth Conspiracy

A 24-year-old Texas man was handed a 9-year prison sentence for his role in a massive methamphetamine conspiracy that spanned multiple states.

Eliuth Montero-Barrera, a Mexican citizen living in Dallas, Texas, was sentenced May 22, 2024, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.

Montero-Barrera, 24, was found to have picked up approximately 22.75 kilograms of meth in Houston and agreed to transport it to Omaha, where he met with two Omaha men to drop off the illicit substance at an AutoZone parking lot on August 2, 2023.

In a post-arrest interview, Montero-Barrera admitted to investigators that he had made two previous meth deliveries to Omaha and had placed the meth inside a speaker box in the vehicle during the trip from Texas.

Montero-Barrera will begin serving his 9-year sentence immediately, with no parole available in the federal system. Following his release from prison, he will be required to serve a 3-year term of supervised release.

Co-defendants Gregorio Mina-Falcon, 36, of Omaha and Alexis Rodriguez, 22, of Dallas have pleaded guilty to the same charge and are scheduled to be sentenced on May 29, 2024, and June 26, 2024, respectively.

Co-defendant Jose Luis Garcia-Perez, 35, of Omaha was sentenced to the same sentence as Montero-Barrera on March 27, 2023, after pleading guilty to the same charge.

The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which has been working tirelessly to disrupt and dismantle large-scale methamphetamine trafficking operations in the region.
