Methamphetamine Distributor Sentenced
Eugene, Ore. - Eudoro Martinez-Medina, 55, was sentenced on July 8, 2009, by U. S. District Court Chief Judge Ann Aiken to serve 87 months in prison for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine. When released from prison, Martinez-Medina will be on supervised release for five years.
Martinez-Medina was arrested on June 18, 2008, after a search warrant was served by agents at his residence in Coos Bay, Oregon. During the search, agents found $22,539 in U.S. currency, a half-pound of methamphetamine, 29 firearms, and scales and drug packaging materials. The sentencing followed entry of a guilty plea by defendant on April 24, 2009.
