Seven-year sentence for meth trafficking

A Carlsbad man was sentenced in federal court on June 6 to seven years in prison for drug trafficking.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Jason Cunningham, 38, was arrested on an indictment in October 2017 and pleaded guilty in December.

A news release stated that Cunningham “played a vital role in furthering drug trafficking operations in Carlsbad by directing others in selling drugs after obtaining large quantities of methamphetamine, which he broke down into smaller amounts for further distribution.”
