LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - A man described by federal authorities as the leader of a Sunland Park heroin trafficking ring has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and heroin distribution charges.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 69-year-old Raymundo Munoz of Sunland Park faces six years in prison when he is sentenced under a plea agreement after pleading guilty Wednesday in federal court in Las Cruces.
The office says the charges against Munoz were part of a 30-count indictment against 10 people who allegedly conspired to distribute heroin in Dona Ana County and elsewhere during 2016.
Five others also have pleaded guilty in the case.
