According to The United States Attorney`s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, U.S. District Court Judge Malachy E. Mannion sentenced Mariluz Arias De Gonzalez (“Arias”), 49, of Hazleton, to one year and one day in prison and a three-year term of supervised release, for the distribution of methamphetamine.
