Man convicted of drug conspiracy

A federal jury convicted a Chattanooga man Wednesday of drug conspiracy.

Following a two-day trial, Victor Martinez-Arrellano was convicted of one count of conspiracy to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

His sentencing hearing is set for May 26 in the U.S. District Court in Chattanooga.

Martinez-Arrellano faces a prison sentence of at least five years and up to 40 years and a fine of up to $2 million.

“We respect the jury’s service and verdict in this case,” U.S. Attorney Bill Killian said.
