A Florida man has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for running a drug operation that crossed multiple U.S. state lines, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
The Justice Department said the conviction stemmed from a drug trafficking scheme that extended across several states. No additional details about the specific states involved or the substances at issue were released in the announcement.
The sentence exceeds 12 years, according to the Justice Department. The agency confirmed it made the sentencing announcement, though it did not name the defendant in the details provided through this report.
The case reflects a federal prosecution of a multistate narcotics operation tied to a Florida resident, the Justice Department said.
