A federal judge sentenced José “N” and Pedro “N” to seven years in prison for
firearm possession and drug transport after the Federal Public Ministry proved
the charges.[1]The two men are serving the sentence in La Pila prison.[1]The district judge in the federal criminal justice centre in San Luis Potosí
imposed seven years in prison and a fine of 50 Units of Measurement and Update,
equivalent to 5,187 pesos.[1]
Officers searching the men’s vehicle found the firearm and 17 live cartridges,
plus various doses of marijuana and crystal methamphetamine.[1]Prosecutors
treated the case as possession of an exclusive-use Army firearm and possession
of drugs for transport.[1]The marijuana doses are the cannabis component
recorded here, while the crystal, firearm and cartridges are noted only to
explain the mixed case.[1]
Guardia Civil Estatal officers detained the men in March 2023 after spotting
their vehicle on the free road to Cerritos at Los Quiotes in Cerritos
municipality.[1]The co-pilot aimed a squad-type pistol at the patrol vehicle,
then both men left the vehicle and fled into brush before being captured.[1]
No weight or count for the marijuana doses was published, so no kilograms can be recorded and no combined drug total is attributed to cannabis.
The amount of crystal was not quantified and is excluded from cannabis figures.
The article gives no separate sentencing date; 4 November 2026 is its publication date and is used as the incident date, while the arrest was in March 2023.
It is unclear whether the 5,187-peso fine is a total or per person.
Only one accessible account of this event was found after searching in Spanish; no separate agency statement could be opened.
The page's main photo caption only repeats the headline and does not establish that it shows this seizure or arrest, so no media entry is included.
