A man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for distributing cocaine and heroin throughout the United States, the Department of Justice announced Tuesday.
Emilio Ramon Torres, 44, was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five or more kilograms of cocaine and one or more kilograms of heroin as well as possession with intent to distribute 16 kilograms of cocaine by a federal jury following an 11-day trial in August 2022. Torres, who is from the Dominican Republic, could also lose his status to reside in the United States, U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani said.
Investigators said Torres worked within the drug trafficking organization by stashing cocaine at his apartment in Houston. He received shipments of cocaine and held them at his residence until instructed about how much to make available for delivery to customers, the DOJ said.
