BOISE, ID - In a shocking turn of events, Sadith Chavez-Perez, 23, of Las Vegas, Nevada, pleaded guilty yesterday in United States District Court to distribution of methamphetamine.

According to the plea agreement, on March 27, 2013, Chavez-Perez, along with a co-defendant met with an undercover officer at a parking lot in Meridian, Idaho. At the meeting Chavez-Perez discussed future drug transactions with the undercover officer. On April 11, 2013, Chavez-Perez made arrangements with the undercover officer to deliver five ounces of methamphetamine to the undercover officer. The methamphetamine was delivered to the undercover officer by a co-defendant later that day. Chavez-Perez subsequently arranged for another delivery of two pounds of methamphetamine to the undercover officer on or about May 15, 2013.

While en route to this meeting, the defendant was stopped by law enforcement in Ely, Nevada. In the vehicle officers found 1321 grams of actual methamphetamine.

The charge of distribution of methamphetamine is punishable by up to 10 years to life in prison, a maximum fine of $10 million, and at least five years of supervised release.

Chavez-Perez is set for sentencing on August 5, 2014, before Chief U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill at the federal courthouse in Boise.
