BRIGHTON, Colo. — An Adams County man with ties to a Mexican drug cartel was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
Salazar and the eight other suspects were allegedly involved with a large-scale drug distribution network between the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico and the greater Adams County area, the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
