CHICAGO (AP) – A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to more than 19 years in prison after pleading guilty to felony drug conspiracy charges.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul says in a news release Thursday that 31-year-old Gabriel Aguilar Velez of Aurora was one of three men arrested as a result of the same investigation that led authorities to seize a total of more than 22 kilograms of heroin and cocaine.
They were arrested after federal authorities in 2017 pulled over a truck in Kane County driven by one of the other men and found the cocaine and heroin hidden in the tire. The other men- Juan Carlos Rivera-Arroyo and Israel Tavison – were convicted and are serving prison sentences of at least 19 years.
