LAS VEGAS, NV – A Las Vegas man was sentenced Tuesday to 97 months in prison for selling large amounts of methamphetamine and heroin in Las Vegas.

From January 2022 to September 14, 2022, Jacobo Aguilar Humberto, 43, conspired with Eduardo Flores-Martinez to sell methamphetamine and heroin for cash, according to court documents. Humberto coordinated with Flores-Martinez, his courier, to distribute the narcotics. During this period, Humberto either directly sold or instructed Flores-Martinez to sell the drugs on multiple occasions.

On September 14, 2022, law enforcement agents recovered one pound of heroin, one ounce of methamphetamine, $2,060 in cash, and two loaded firearms from Humberto’s vehicle. A traffic stop on Flores-Martinez’s vehicle led to the recovery of one pound of methamphetamine, one ounce of heroin, and a loaded firearm. A search of Humberto’s residence yielded $16,156 and three firearms.

Humberto pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. Besides the prison term, United States District Judge Gloria M. Navarro sentenced him to five years of supervised release.

Flores-Martinez also pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. He was sentenced to 84 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release by Judge Navarro on July 25.

The announcement was made by United States Attorney Jason M. Frierson for the District of Nevada and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Kevin Adams for the DEA Las Vegas District Office. The case was investigated by the DEA and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, with Assistant United States Attorney Joshua Brister prosecuting.
