Laredo, Texas
A federal judge sentenced a Laredo police officer to 6½ years in prison for helping a trafficker move and safeguard cocaine.
34-year-old Pedro Martinez III was sentenced by Judge George Kazen on one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine.
Martinez had pleaded guilty to putting Guillermo Villarreal in touch with someone with a house where he could store cocaine. Villarreal is awaiting sentencing. Martinez also conspired with former Laredo police Officer Orlando Jesus Hale to ensure the safe passage of drug loads through the city in exchange for money. Hale was sentenced in April in a related case.
