Man pleads guilty after storing meth in Idaho Falls shed

A man who stored methamphetamine in Idaho Falls pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court on Thursday.

Miguel Gutierrez-Munoz, 40, of San Jose, California, was indicted by a federal grand jury in September with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

Between February and March of last year, Gutierrez-Munoz had an agreement with others to distribute meth. In March 2014, Gutierrez-Munoz helped a co-defendant store more than 50 grams of meth in a storage shed in Idaho Falls. The drugs were intended to be distributed to other people, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson said.

Gutierrez-Munoz will be sentenced in June. The charge is punishable by 10 years to life in prison, a maximum fine of $10 million and at least five years of supervised release.
