A Riley County District Court judge on Wednesday sentenced a Texas man to over 14 years in prison after he was convicted by a jury in March of distributing drugs.
Jose Miguel Rivera, 33, will serve 14 years 2 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections for distributing at least 1 kilogram of cocaine. Rivera was also sentenced to four years one month for distribution of between 100 grams and 1 kilogram of psilocybin — also known as mushrooms — and eight months for using a cell phone to distribute controlled substances.
Judge Grant Bannister ordered Rivera’s sentences to be served concurrently and gave him credit for 62 days he’s already served in jail.
