Man Faces More Drug Trafficking Charges (Elyria, Ohio - 02/20/2010)
ELYRIA - An illegal immigrant from Mexico already facing charges of selling high-grade crystal methamphetamine has been indicted on additional drug trafficking charges.
The new charges against Jesus Maciel-Valadez, 31, are two counts of trafficking in methamphetamine with a major drug offender specification and two counts of possession of methamphetamine, one of which carries the major drug offender specification.
The charges stem from an undercover drug buy earlier this month in which Maciel-Valadez was caught with 18 ounces of crystal meth with a street value of more than $100,000.
