SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- According to the United States Attorney's Office, on Thursday, Mar. 19, a 43-year-old man accused of dealing drugs has been sentenced to 100 months in prison after being convicted of Distribution of Methamphetamine.

The 43-year-old, Edward Trevino of La Porte, was convicted of Distribution of Methamphetamine, Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. As Trevino has a prior felony conviction for residential entry, he was no longer allowed to possess one.
