Last Defendant Sentenced in Heroin Distribution Conspiracy

DALLAS — Sixto Rivera Bustillos, 44, of Garland, Texas, was sentenced today before U.S. District Judge Jane J. Boyle for his role in a heroin distribution conspiracy, announced U.S. Attorney John Parker of the Northern District of Texas.

Bustillos was sentenced to 135 months in federal prison following his guilty plea in September 2016 to one count of possession with intent to distribute and the distribution of a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of heroin. Bustillos has been in custody since his arrest in June 2016.

Bustillos was charged along with six others with various offenses related to a heroin distribution conspiracy. Of the seven charged, all pleaded guilty and have been sentenced to the following:

     Rene Rodriguez, 31, of Dallas, 108 months

     Marcus Stokes, 31, of Plano, 70 months

     Daniel Rojo, 32, of Allen, 60 months

     Brittany Anders, 32, of Rowlett, 51 months
     Jancs Fraire, aka “Jesus Luis Friar,” “Jesus Fraire,” and “Jay,” 19, of Dallas, 20 months
     Yovani Loyd Rodriguez, 23, of Dallas, 10 months

According to plea documents filed in Bustillos’ case, on April 27, 2016 Anders and Bustillos met an individual in a McDonalds restaurant bathroom in Garland, Texas and exchanged one-half ounce of heroin for $820.

On June 2, 2016, DEA agents went to Bustillos and Anders’ home with federal arrest warrants for both Bustillos and Anders. The agents conducted a protective sweep of the home, and upon entering Bustillo’s bedroom smelled raw marijuana emanating from an open duffel bag on the bed. Agents seized the bag containing marijuana, other controlled substances and a firearm.

The Drug Enforcement Administration, Allen Police Department and Rockwall Police Department investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanna Etessam prosecuted.
