TYLER – A Dallas man has been sentenced to federal prison for drug violations in East Texas. Jose Gaona-Arroyo pleaded guilty on June 1, 2010, to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. He was sentenced to 121 months in federal prison yesterday by U.S. District Judge Leonard Davis.
According to federal prosecutors, beginning in 2007, Gaona-Arroyo conspired to distribute methamphetamine in Dallas County, which was then transported through the Eastern District of Texas to be delivered elsewhere. Gaona-Arroyo was arrested in Smith County on July 23, 2009, in possession of approximately one pound of methamphetamine. Gaona-Arroyo and five others were indicted by a federal grand jury on August 5, 2009.
