Description
Police seized twenty-two pounds of methamphetamine from a commercial storage unit in Des Moines and then detained Jose Guadalupe Montano-Gudino when he came to remove its contents. Consensual searches of his vehicle, person, and residence yielded a "drug note" and other incriminating evidence. A jury convicted him of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine and heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, and the district court sentenced him to 135 months in prison. Montano-Gudino appeals, arguing the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress, the evidence was insufficient, the court erred in admitting a threat against a government witness by one of the alleged conspirators and in refusing to give a "buyer-seller" jury instruction, and the court committed four sentencing errors. We affirm.
