A top Idaho member of the Sinaloa cartel, one of the world's most powerful and violent drug trafficking organizations, was sentenced to more than two decades in prison on Thursday.
Hector Ojeda Manuel Aponte, who was unlawfully in the U.S. from Honduras, was deemed the "number one guy" for the Sinaloa cartel in Idaho. He distributed 40 pounds of meth, fentanyl pills and bath salts weekly or biweekly through the cartel's extensive network, according to KTVB7.
