SHREVEPORT, La. - United States Attorney Stephanie A. Finley announced that a Dallas man was sentenced Thursday to 84 months in prison for a conspiracy to sell methamphetamine in the Shreveport area.

Gonzalez admitted to obtaining the drugs from a Texas source and selling them to Lee. Agents recovered $10,000 from Gonzalez’s vehicle.
Lee was sentenced to 60 months in prison and five years of supervised release on July 9, 2014 for one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 5 or more grams of methamphetamine.
The DEA, Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the Texas Department of Public Safety took part in the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Allison D. Bushnell prosecuted the case.
