A San Bernardino man who was identified as a methamphetamine distributor in Santa Barbara County was sentenced this week to 180 months, or 15 years, in federal prison.
Cesar Castillo-Pena, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of methamphetamine, admitting he sold just over three kilograms of meth during a transaction one year ago.
Investigators reportedly arrested Castillo-Pena in Carpinteria while he was engaged in a narcotics transaction. They reported finding him to be in possession of drugs and a handgun.
