WICHITA – A woman from Los Angeles was sentenced Monday to 18 months in federal prison for transporting 60 pounds of methamphetamine to Kansas, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister.
Maria Alvarez-Buenrostro, 47, Los Angeles, pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
In her plea, she admitted that the Kansas Highway Patrol stopped her car Feb. 12, 2019, in Ellis County. A trooper found the methamphetamine in heat-sealed bags hidden in a real quarter panel and in both rear doors.
