According to court documents, on December 10, 2021, Garduno distributed approximately 109 grams of methamphetamine in exchange for a cash payment. The transaction occurred at Garduno’s residence.

Investigators with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service were able to locate the package within the mail stream, discovering it contained methamphetamine. Subsequent testing of the substance by a DEA forensic chemist determined that it was approximately 1,695.2 grams of actual methamphetamine.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael V. Leeman.

Garduno’s sentence is a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies in Southwest Florida. As our community continues to grapple with the scourge of methamphetamine, it is clear that those responsible will be held accountable.
