TUCSON (KVOA) – A Tucson man was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release for drug trafficking.
Oscar Alberto Martinez, 27, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, heroin and fentanyl.
According to the US Attorney’s Office, Martinez worked as a drug courier for a Tucson-based drug trafficking organization. It is said that he delivered drugs to buyers every day for about three months.
The 27-year-old was arrested on February 20, 2020 while trying to deliver three pounds of methamphetamine and ten ounces of heroin.
Martinez fled law enforcement and led them on a high-speed chase through Tucson before leaving his vehicle and continuing his flight on foot. Officers eventually arrested Martinez when he tried to run into a house.
