A Reno man will spend at least six years in prison after pleading guilty to drug trafficking.Â
The Washoe County District Attorney's Office says Juan Flores-Falcon received the maximum of 20 years in prison.
The DA's office says Flores-Falcon was arrested last year following an operation by the Regional Narcotics Unit, who set up a sale for heroin with a dealer in the area. During the investigation, authorities say detectives bought 26 grams of heroin. Later, Flores-Falcon was stopped during a traffic stop and arrested.
They say a subsequent search of his car yielded 45 grams of heroin, and a search of his home uncovered an additional 127 grams.
Plus, they say Flores-Falcon admitted to selling heroin, and told detectives that more heroin was hidden inside a light fixture. Authorities say a second search found more than 630 grams of heroin.
Collectively, the DA's office says he had a total of about 8,280 individual doses.
