Calexico man found guilty of selling methamphetamine

IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The jury found a Calexico man guilty of selling methamphetamine last Thursday.

According to the Imperial County District Attorney's Office, the man, Carlos Correa, was arrested in March of 2021.

The D.A.'s Office says Correa was in a parking lot, located in the area of Third Street and Paulin Avenue in Calexico, "hiding prepackaged bindles in his car while standing next to it."

However, the D.A.'s Office says a Calexico police officer conducted an investigation after he believed he saw someone attempting to buy methamphetamine from Correa.

Following this, officers found the bindles and over $15,000 in cash, which led to Correa's arrest.

Correa will be sentenced on August 11.
