VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTHI) - A man was sentenced Thursday for his connection in a large meth ring in Vigo County.
Saul Martinez-Palmero will serve about 21 years in prison plus 5 years supervised release.
Police say when his sentence is complete, he will be deported to Mexico.
Martinez-Palmero pled guilty in federal court back in March.
Police say he was the meth source for the Robbin Welker and Vicki Shaw organizations.
He supplied them with about 300 pounds of meth from the fall of 2006 to December 2008.
After receiving the meth, police say Welker and Shaw would then distribute it to others.
They were each sentenced to about 19 years in prison.
Officials say everyone in that meth ring has now been sentenced.
