(Portland, OR)  --  A local drug trafficker with ties to Mexican cartels is headed to prison.  In 2021, the DEA started investigating a drug dealing organization in Portland and Vancouver that was also selling guns.  Twenty-eight-year-old Francisco Moncada was stopped in a car and officers seized 15 pounds of fentanyl.  Less than two weeks later, Moncado was stopped again and agents seized ten pounds of fentanyl.  Moncada lived in Portland and Vancouver.  A search of his properties discovered 50 pounds of fentanyl, 40 pounds of methamphetamine, and smaller amounts of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.  Moncada was sentenced to nine years in federal prison.
