An Arizona man has been sentenced to seven years in state prison after being caught trafficking nearly 140 pounds of methamphetamine in his vehicle late last year.

On April 9, Attorney General Kris Mayes announced the sentencing of Anthony Perez, who was pulled over during a traffic stop on westbound Interstate 10 by Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) troopers on Dec. 8.
