YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A Yuma man has been sentenced to ten years in prison for drug trafficking.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the district of Oklahoma says 30-year-old Jose Ramon Lopez was sentenced to once count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.

Investigators say in 2021, a trooper in Oklahoma found Lopez in possession of over 5,000 counterfeit oxycontin pills, containing almost 600 grams of fentanyl.

Lopez was arrested in 2024 by the U.S. Marshals.

He pleaded guilty last August.
