A Mexican national who lives in Trempealeau County has been sentenced to five years in prison for participating in a cocaine conspiracy.
A news release from the office of U-S Attorney Timothy O’Shea says 23-year-old Karlett Salazar Zagal pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
Federal investigators followed up on information in August 2020 that multiple people had sold cocaine at a barbershop and taverns in Arcadia.
Zagal is a citizen of Mexico who was living in Trempealeau County at the time.
The cocaine being sold reportedly had been shipped from Puerto Rico.
