A 19-year-old South Hutchinson man who entered a guilty plea and signed a written statement that drugs found near a South Hutchinson home were his is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday
Antonio Cordero was arrested along with 18-year-old Patrocino Chacon and 18-year-old Isaac Beltran during that raid.
Cordero plead to the charges of possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana with intent to sell or distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to package, and two counts of no drug tax stamp.
Chacon earlier had entered no contest pleas to the same charges. After he entered the plea and Cordero admitted the drugs were his, Judge Chambers gave Chacon 18-months community corrections.
The case starts on December 29th, of last year when a search warrant was served on a home at 901 South Main in South Hutchinson. Officers say when they started to make entry into an apartment building behind the main residence, Chacon was seen running from the rear of the building wearing a blue shirt and a coat. When he was taken into custody, he no longer had the coat. Officers say his coat was found sitting on top of numerous bags of marijuana, powder cocaine, and crack cocaine, along with packaging materials. There was a smaller amount of marijuana found inside his jeans pocket.
They Reportedly found 8-ounces of powder cocaine in 14-individual bags and one bag containing a rock, or 6-ounces of crack cocaine, and then a half pound of marijuana in approximately 6- separate bags. They also allegedly found a 40-caliber handgun in the residence.
