SAN DIEGO—A former San Diego-based U.S. Marine who coordinated the trafficking of fentanyl and other drugs into the United States was sentenced Friday to 12 years in federal prison.
While stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Roberto Salazar II recruited people to work as couriers—including fellow former Marines—to transport drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
