UPDATE, May 2021:

The Washoe County District Attorney's Office announced an Arizona man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking.

31-year-old Jesus Camacho-Luque pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking in a schedule II controlled substance in April 2021.

He must serve a minimum of seven years in prison before parole eligibility begins.

The case against him began in March 2020 when a confidential informant provided police with information on a possible fentanyl supplier working on behalf of a drug trafficking organization out of Sinaloa, Mexico.

On August 15, 2020, officers from the multi-agency Regional Narcotics Unit arrested Camacho-Luque in an undercover sting operation.

A search of Camacho-Luque's car uncovered 5,000 pills that tested positive for fentanyl and oxycodone.
