Thursday, a Mountain Home man was sentenced to 52 months in prison for distributing meth. Rudolfo Reyes, 25, was ordered to serve three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to the charge.

According to the plea, Reyes admitted to selling 5.2 grams of methamphetamine, on July 20, 2012,  for $460 to a residence in Boise.

“Methamphetamine trafficking, particularly by gang members, is a serious crime that demands a serious response from law enforcement, prosecutors and courts,” said U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson. “Mr. Reyes will spend more than four years in federal prison for bringing this horribly addictive drug to our community. I commend the multi-agency law enforcement work that produced justice in this case.”

Reyes was prosecuted by the Special Assistant U.S. Attorney hired by the Treasure Valley Partnership and the State of Idaho to address gang crimes.
