Corpus Christi Man Faces Life in Prison for Meth Trafficking
A 23-year-old man residing in Corpus Christi, Texas, has pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 210 grams of meth, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.
On Sept. 4, 2022, Jacob Soliz was a passenger in a sedan driving in Corpus Christi around 11:30 p.m. Authorities conducted a traffic stop after observing the vehicle was traveling without any headlights activated.
Law enforcement then observed the smell of burnt marijuana and ultimately conducted an inspection of the vehicle. At that time, they discovered multiple baggies of meth totaling 210 grams, baggies of marijuana totaling approximately 150 grams, and a loaded AR-15 rifle. They also discovered approximately $2,500 located in Soliz’s pocket.
Soliz admitted the meth and rifle belonged to him.
U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos will impose sentencing on Aug. 9. At that time, Soliz faces up to life in federal prison and a possible $10 million maximum fine.
Soliz was permitted to remain on bond pending sentencing.
The Corpus Christi Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tyler Foster is prosecuting the case.
