A South Dakota man has been sentenced to 120 months of imprisonment for his role in a methamphetamine conspiracy.
Lorenzo Camacho Tarango, 43, also known as ‘Lencho’, ‘Lecho’, was convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance.
According to court documents, Tarango conspired with Abraham Romero and others to distribute at least 500 grams or more of methamphetamine in the District of South Dakota between 2010 and 2012.

Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court, sentenced Tarango to 120 months of imprisonment, 5 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
