SCRANTON – A Hazleton man has been sentenced to 78 months’ imprisonment for conspiring to distribute over 1.5 kilograms of methamphetamine.
Alex Pazmino, age 36, was arrested on April 29, 2016, upon receiving a significant shipment of methamphetamine from California.
According to Acting United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, Pazmino subsequently pleaded guilty, acknowledging his role in a drug trafficking conspiracy.
