Arizona man sentenced in drug smuggling case
By Sarah Gantz, Globe Correspondent
A 42-year-old Arizona man was sentenced yesterday in federal court in New Hampshire to five years in prison and four years of supervised release for involvement in a marijuana distribution ring.
Jesus Arturo Castro, of Phoenix, pleaded guilty in October to conspiring to deliver marijuana from Arizona to New England between 2004 and 2007, the New Hampshire US Attorney's office said.
US Drug Enforcement Administration authorities seized 220 pounds of marijuana in 2006 as part of an investigation into the drug ring.
The investigation resulted in a second seizure of 140 pounds of marijuana and Castro's arrest in April 2007, federal prosecutors said in a statement.
