A man was sentenced in Tucson on Thursday to 25 years in prison in the funneling of more than 17,000 pounds of cocaine through a drug tunnel on the Arizona-Mexico border, officials said.
Francisco Valle-Hurtado, 38, of Naco, Son., guarded cocaine loads with a machine gun after they passed through the tunnel in Naco between 1996 and 1999, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
The 200-foot tunnel connected a mobile home on the Arizona side with a walled-in space between two houses on the Mexican side.
During the investigation, an additional 2,600 pounds of cocaine, three machine guns and $1.5 million were seized, the office said.
More than 50 people connected to the tunnel have been convicted, officials said. Five are being sought.
