Benton, IL — Jose Angulo of Phoenix, Arizona, was sentenced on Thursday, March 24, 2022, to 30 years imprisonment for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine, Money Laundering, and Distribution of Methamphetamine.

Angulo had previously been convicted in the State of Arizona for participating in a drug trafficking organization and engaging in money laundering.

This case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation.
