A Mexican citizen was sentenced Monday after he tried to deliver drugs in Omaha using a pizza box.
In August of last year, Omaha Police received information that Hugo Lopez-Ortiz showed up at a gas station near Eppley Airfield to deliver meth.
Police confronted him and Lopez-Ortiz consented to a search. Police found nearly three and a half pounds of meth in a pizza box.
A search of his hotel room turned up $13,000 in cash. Lopez-Ortiz was sentenced to 87-months in federal prison, where there is no parole. After his release he will be deported.
