Arizona Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Trafficking in Oklahoma
A Arizona man has been sentenced to 170 months in federal prison for his role in distributing methamphetamine in the Tulsa area.
Francisco de Jesus Bojorquez Para, 33, of Phoenix, Arizona, was sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Gregory Frizzell for Distribution of Methamphetamine and Possession With Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma, Bojorquez Para was a multiple-pound distributor of methamphetamine. On April 3, 2017, federal agents arrested Bojorquez Para with several pounds of pure methamphetamine, commonly known as ‘Ice’, over $10,000.00 in cash, digital scales and several cell phones.
When agents arrested Bojorquez Para, he also had a distribution amount of heroin in his possession.
‘This prosecution was the result of a concerted and relentless campaign to target sources of supply responsible for bringing methamphetamine, heroin and other controlled substances into the Northern District of Oklahoma,’ said United States Attorney Trent Shores.
This prosecution was part of Operation ‘Pine Tar Posse’, an Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation. The prosecution resulted from a joint investigation conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Broken Arrow Police Department, Tulsa Police Department and Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. Assistant United States Attorney Joel-lyn A. McCormick handled the prosecution of this case.
