Maria Arredondo De Sanchez, Methamphetamine Smuggling, Arizona 2022

PHOENIX, Ariz. – In a shocking case of narcotics trafficking, Maria Arredondo De Sanchez, a 56-year-old woman from Mexico, has been charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine and Importation of Methamphetamine into the United States from Mexico.

The complaint alleges that on June 30, 2022, Arredondo De Sanchez entered the United States through the San Luis Port of Entry where Customs and Border Protection officers discovered 105 packages hidden in her car. The packages contained a white crystal-like substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. The combined weight of the packages was over 108 pounds.

A conviction for each charged offense carries a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $10,000,000 fine. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is handling the prosecution, and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are conducting the investigation.

It is essential to note that a criminal complaint is merely an allegation of criminal conduct, not evidence. An individual is presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is taking this case seriously, and the investigation is ongoing. The public is advised to report any information regarding this case to the authorities.
