Ricardo Mendoza-Morales smuggled cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine from Mexico and California sentenced to 25 years

Ricardo Mendoza-Morales, 39, of Beaverton smuggled cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine from Mexico and California. U.S. District Judge James Redden imposed Mendoza-Morales' sentence Wednesday, three years after a multi-agency task force arrested nine suspects and seized drugs, handguns and $190,000 in cash. The seizure of 40 pounds of meth was one of Oregon's biggest, said Assistant U.S. Attorney John Deits. Six network members have been sentenced; three others are due Oct. 7.
