TYLER, TX – U.S. Attorney John M. Bales announced today that a 45-year-old Dallas man has pleaded guilty to federal drug violations in the Eastern District of Texas.
ALEJANDRO CABRERA pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine today before U.S. Magistrate Judge John D. Love.
According to information presented in court, from 2007 through July 23, 2009, Cabrera conspired with others to distribute methamphetamine to others in Dallas County and Smith County, Texas.
