On Feb. 22, Mitchell Morales was sentenced to a term of 16 years in prison for his role in conspiring with others to import high grade methamphetamine into Colorado and sell it in Montrose and Delta counties. In imposing sentence, the Montrose District Court Judge recognized the harm to our communities caused by Morales' criminal conduct.

According to district attorney Dan Hotsenpiller, Morales pleaded guilty on Dec. 12 to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, a class 3 felony. "The results in this case could not have been achieved without many hours of excellent work performed by members of the 7th Judicial District Drug Task Force," Hotsenpiller said.
