### Eleven-Year Prison Sentence for Man Arrested with Weapons and Methamphetamines in Tijuana

In a recent development from Tijuana, a man identified as Andrés “D” has been sentenced to eleven years in prison following a legal process carried out by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office in Baja California. The District Court in Tijuana delivered this verdict, also imposing a fine of 340 days on Andrés “D” for his involvement in crimes related to public health and violations of the Federal Law on Firearms and Explosives.

Andrés “D” was apprehended in September 2022 in the vicinity of the Guaycura neighborhood, Tijuana.
