WICHITA – A 50-year-old Wichita man is charged with possession with intent to distribute more than a pound of methamphetamine.

Rafael Piceno was initially charged in a criminal complaint filed March 2 in U-S District Court in Wichita.

The complaint alleges that a detective with the Wichita Police Department who was working undercover made a deal to buy a pound of crystal methamphetamine from Piceno for $16,000. When police served a search warrant at Picneo’s apartment in the 1800 block of South Bonn, they found one bag containing approximately a pound of crystal methamphetamine and another bag containing approximately a quarter pound of crystal methamphetamine.

If convicted, he faces a penalty of not less than five years and not more than 40 years in federal prison.
