Two Caldwell men arrested on federal drug charges

Published: September 5, 2012 

Herminio Sandoval, 58, and Rogelio Villasenor, 47, both of Caldwell, were arrested Wednesday on federal drug charges, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson said. The two men were indicted by a federal grand jury in May.

According to the 19-page indictment unsealed Wednesday, the men are both charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. Sandoval is also charged with conspiracy to maintain drug-involved premises, maintaining drug-involved premises and conspiracy to launder money.

Arraignment has not been set.

The charge of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana carries a mandatory minimum of ten years in prison, a maximum fine of $10 million and at least five years of supervised release. The government is seeking criminal forfeiture of assets derived from the drug trafficking offenses.

The indictment was the result of a joint investigation of the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force, a federal multi-agency program that supplies supplemental federal funding to federal and state agencies involved in the identification, investigation and prosecution of major drug trafficking organizations.
