A 49-year-old Hutchinson woman waived her right to a preliminary hearing in two cases involving the alleged distribution of methamphetamine.

In addition to the two pending case, Dinah Sanchez Loredo has a third about to go before the Kansas Supreme Court. She was also suspected of being involved with a Hutchinson man who is currently serving time in federal prison for being a major distributor of drugs.

Sanchez Loredo was arrested for being in possession of meth with intent to sell. She apparently was caught with the drugs and paraphernalia and allegedly had 3-ounces on her.

She was also arrested back in early November, along with Natasha Willm for allegedly having over a pound of meth.

Then there’s the case from July of 2007. The arrest of Sanchez-Loredo in that case occurring when the vehicle with her and Amber Moore was stopped by drug detectives when they were on their way back from Dodge City. They apparently had a large quantity of drugs at that time and the case against Sanchez Loredo is expected to be argued before the Kansas Supreme Court next month.

She was the common-law wife of Bruno Garcia who was convicted in federal court when he was allegedly caught with nearly 4-pounds of meth and attempted to sell it to another man. The drugs had an estimated street value of nearly 171-thousand dollars. He’s serving 10-years in federal prison for that conviction.

The cases against Snachez-Loredo will now move to Judge Tim Chambers court for arraignment and possible trial.
