SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio man who imported large amounts of methamphetamine from Mexico and distributed the drugs to dealers across the city has been sentenced to nearly 16 years in federal prison.<\/p>\n
Alfredo Landin, 28, also known as “Fredo,” was sentenced to 190 months after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a substance containing methamphetamine.<\/p>\n
Alfredo Landin was responsible for importing large amounts of methamphetamine and heroin from Mexico to exploit our communities for financial gain,” said U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons.<\/p>\n
According to federal court documents, Landin referred to methamphetamine as “candy” and arranged for drivers to transport shipments of 10 kilograms or more in hidden vehicle compartments.<\/p>\n
On July 19, 2021, DEA agents and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers intercepted a vehicle carrying approximately eight kilograms of methamphetamine and 3.5 kilograms of heroin. Investigators said the drugs were headed to Landin in San Antonio’s Indian Creek area.<\/p>\n
Landin was arrested in April 2024 and pleaded guilty in March 2025.<\/p>\n
He was also sentenced to 151 months in June in a separate methamphetamine trafficking case. The two sentences will run concurrently, meaning he will serve them at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio man who imported large amounts of methamphetamine from Mexico and distributed the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-479535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
