Eric Anthony Rodriguez was convicted in a Minnesota meth trafficking conspiracy tied to Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel after distributing hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine, prosecutors said.

The organization was led by Erick Emilio Diaz-Aguilar, 33, who previously pleaded guilty, along with co-defendants Juan Martin Elvira Jr., 36, Edward Gonzalez, 30, and Bruce Michael Orton, 44.
