Las Cruces woman gets 5 years in prison for meth trafficking

A Las Cruces woman has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for methamphetamine trafficking.

Prosecutors say 35-year-old Joclyn Telles and a co-defendant were arrested in February 2017 and charged with conspiracy and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.

According to a criminal complaint, Telles and a Las Cruces man were arrested on outstanding arrest warrants following a traffic stop in June 2016 in Dona Ana County.

During a search, authorities reported finding about 2.6 ounces of methamphetamine and a firearm in the defendants’ vehicle.

Telles pleaded guilty last July without a plea agreement.
