HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A man convicted for distribution of drugs has been sentenced to nearly 12-years in prison.

Stephen and Sophia Montalbo were both arrested in Jan. of last year when the Reno County Drug Unit served a search warrant on the couple’s home. During that search, they found about a quarter pound of methamphetamine and about 19 grams of marijuana, or marijuana hash, a small baggie with an unidentified substance believed to be heroin, Oxycodone, packaging material, working scales, and multiple pieces of drug paraphernalia.

A 16-year-old girl was placed into protective custody from the incident.

Montalbo was sentenced on all the charges including possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute by Judge Trish Rose.
