(Deming) – A Deming man is facing multiple years in prison for his guilty plea in a drug trafficking case stemming from the discovery of a half-ton of marijuana hidden in a truck.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said 32-year-old Crispin Fierro pleaded guilty to a marijuana trafficking charge Tuesday in federal court in Las Cruces.

He remains in federal custody pending his sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled.
According to the U.S Attorney’s Office, Fierro faces between 5 and 40 years in prison.
