Cocaine

A man caught moving drugs through Wyoming two years ago has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison, U.S. Attorney Bob Murray's Office announced Wednesday.

A man accused of multiple drug charges pleaded guilty to one of them during his change of plea hearing in Albany County District Court Tuesday.

Two defendants were part of a cocaine conspiracy that operated in Wyoming and Colorado.

Mark Gall is charged with one count of possession of cocaine, one count of possession of heroin and one count of possession of LSD. If convicted of the charges, he could face up to 15 years in prison and $30,000 in fines.

Fuechsel was arrested after the Wyoming Department of Criminal Investigation conducted an undercover investigation to expose his alleged cocaine distribution.

Nathaniel Jeffrey Kennaday will serve two years of supervised probation. Albany County District Judge Tori Kricken also ordered Kennaday to complete a level 1.0 outpatient drug treatment program.

The defendants are from Cheyenne and Sheridan.

The deputy allegedly found two large rocks and white powder in plastic baggies inside of a fast-food cup, along with a folding mirror with white powder residue on it.

The deputy who stopped Kennaday reportedly found the weight of the cocaine to be 45 grams, or just less than 1.6 ounces.

Korman argued against imprisonment, saying it would cost Wyoming taxpayers $160 each day to keep Zuniga-Acosta in prison.

That guilty plea may result in Zuniga-Acosta's detention, deportation, exclusion from the United States or denial of immigration benefits such as naturalization, as he is a foreign national.

Troopers also allegedly found seven cell phones and $2,250 in cash inside the Honda Civic.
