A now-former postal worker in south Texas must serve nearly five years in federal prison over a marijuana by mail scheme.
U.S. Attorney Jose Angel Moreno says 45-year-old Eva Zamora of San Benito was arrested last August. Zamora in November pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.
She was sentenced Thursday in Brownsville to 57 months in prison.
Investigators say 16 parcels processed by Zamora were seized by post office personnel. She was videotaped processing 57 similar packages, each with about 20 pounds of marijuana.
Two co-defendants who pleaded guilty also were sentenced to prison on Thursday.
