ST GEORGE — A St. George man received a 10-year prison sentence on Thursday after admitting to distributing large quantities of fentanyl, methamphetamine and marijuana in Washington County, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for Utah.
The office said Rubio-Quintana distributed thousands of fentanyl pills, 3.5 kilograms of methamphetamine, and 45 pounds of marijuana to buyers in St. George — then wired the money to Mexico. "Mr. Rubio-Quintana's actions jeopardized the safety of the St. George community," said U.S. Attorney for Utah Trina A. Higgins. "Not only did he distribute dangerous narcotics, but he also took advantage of naive young people, convincing them to join in his conspiracy. We appreciate the efforts of all law enforcement agencies involved in this investigation and in removing this harm from our communities.
