Drug dealer sentenced to three years in possession case

Posted

The state attorney general's office announced Thursday a 24-year-old man was sentenced to three years in prison for attempting to possess a dangerous drug for sale.

Angel Cesar Cuji-Patajalo was sentenced in Pima County Superior Court on Nov. 4 for knowingly possessing 10.15 pounds of methamphetamine for sale, which is a class 3 felony. 

“My office is fighting drug trafficking on every front,” Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a release. “We will continue to work tirelessly to dismantle the criminal organizations that ship fentanyl and meth into our communities. Those engaged in illicit drug trafficking should be on notice that my office, along with our law enforcement partners, will find you and bring you to justice.”

Cuji-Patajalo was also ordered to pay $4,500 to the state Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety investigated this case, and Assistant Attorney General Sabrina Lochner prosecuted the case, according to the release.
