DURANGO, Colo. (AP) _ A Mexican national has been sentenced to
10 years in prison for running a multistate methamphetamine
operation out of southwest Colorado.

Sergio Molinares Macias was sentenced Thursday by District Judge
Jeffrey Wilson in Durango.

Prosecutors said Molinares' La Plata County operation
distributed methamphetamine in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, New
Mexico and Idaho. Undercover police working with the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration bought a half-pound of methamphetamine
from the ring before arresting the 23-year-old Molinares.

Molinares had pleaded guilty Sept. 24 to felony distribution of
methamphetamine.
