KANSAS CITY, KAN. - A Kansas City, Kan., man pleaded guilty Monday and admitted he was arrested with almost 1.5 pounds of methamphetamine found in both his car and residence, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said.
Edgar Martinez-Quintana, 36, Kansas City, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. In his plea, he admitted the Kansas City Kan., Police Department stopped his car on Aug. 25, 2017. They found methamphetamine hidden in a roof console and more than $1,900 in cash. A later search of Martinez-Quintana’s residence by officers uncovered more methamphetamine.
Sentencing is set for Oct. 29. Both parties have agreed to recommend 10 years in federal prison. McAllister commended the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Maag for their work on the case.
