CEDAR CITY — A 23-year-old man accused of drug trafficking after being stopped for speeding in August has been sentenced to 364 days in jail, plus 36 months of probation in connection with the case.
Daniel Flores was sentenced in Cedar City's 5th District Court on Nov. 28 by Judge Matthew L. Bell.
As previously reported, Flores was arrested by an Iron County sheriff's deputy on Aug. 10 for driving 100 mph in a 75 mph zone. In a subsequent search of the vehicle, officers reportedly found 12 pounds of methamphetamine in a box on the back seat.
