Authorities say two men have been sentenced to federal prison for conspiring to sell methamphetamine and weapons in the Omaha area.
Federal prosecutors said in a news release Thursday that 40-year-old Francisco Sanchez-Gastelum was given 14 years in prison and 37-year-old Manuel Menchaca was given 12½ years.
Prosecutors say that between Oct. 7 last year and Feb. 28 this year, Menchaca and another man, Jorge Montejano, sold guns and drugs to an undercover officer. Investigators say they found almost 4 pounds of meth at Sanchez-Gastelum’s residence.
Montejano, who was on supervised release after a drug conviction in Iowa, has already been sentenced to 170 months in prison.
