RAWLINS, Wyo.—A Colorado man recently sentenced to prison on drug charges is accused of supplying a Rawlins cocaine dealer.
Fifty-year-old Manuel Ersmo Trujillo of Johnstown was sentenced to 18 years behind bars in Colorado on Jan. 3. The Rawlins Daily Times () reported Wednesday that Trujillo is now in Carbon County to face drug charges in a case involving cocaine dealer John Sanchez.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Trujillo has a lawyer.
Last month, Sanchez pleaded guilty to selling and distributing cocaine in Carbon County for 10 years. Under a proposed deal, he would be sentenced to seven to 10 years in prison if he testifies against his alleged co-conspirators.
Another man from Johnstown, Colo. and seven Rawlins residents have also been charged in the case.
