On Thursday, U.S. Judge Sean D. Jordan in the Northern District of Texas sentenced Jose Antonio Carreto, a 31-year-old man from Dallas, to three decades behind bars, according to court documents.
It all started a little more than two years ago after a minor nearly died from a heroin overdose, and it ended Thursday with a 30-year sentence in a federal prison for supplying the heroin that eventually led to the medical emergency.Jose Antonio CarretoIn March, Carreto’s brother, Isauro Carreto-Cruz, received a 78-month prison for his part in the drug dealing scheme.
The minor’s name isn’t listed in court documents, but they survived after being administered a dose of Narcan, a medicine used in emergency situations to reverse the effects of opioid overdoses. After the incident, the minor cooperated with authorities. Once the Plano Police Department, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Drug Enforcement Administration launched an investigation, they tracked down the immediate supplier, a 21-year-old Plano resident named Kolton Watson. From there, they identified Watson’s suppliers, Carreto and Caretto-Cruz.A Plano police officer stopped the brothers while they were driving and found heroin and methamphetamines in the vehicle.
