Multiple North American Cocaine Traffickers Sentenced to Federal Prison

Several individuals involved in cocaine trafficking have been sentenced to federal prison across various U.S. jurisdictions. Pablo Garcia Ortiz of Texas received a 36-month sentence for possession with intent to distribute over 23 kilograms of cocaine, with evidence indicating attempts to conceal the drugs at a border checkpoint. Kevin Prince Davis from Ohio was sentenced to 180 months after being caught with over five kilograms of cocaine during a traffic stop in Kentucky, with a prior federal conviction for cocaine conspiracy. Mexican national Jorge Huerta-Garcia was sentenced to 204 months for running a drug conspiracy involving over 640 kilograms of cocaine, illegally re-entering the U.S., and firearms offenses. Canadian Jack Kasjaniuk, living illegally in Houston, was sentenced to 135 months for operating a waypoint in a transnational cocaine trafficking scheme moving hundreds of kilograms of cocaine through the U.S. to Canada. These cases highlight ongoing efforts by U.S. law enforcement agencies to combat large-scale drug trafficking operations involving cross-border criminal networks.
