GRAND RAPIDS, MI— A Mexican man has been extradited to Michigan to face drug trafficking charges.
Adrian Weyman-Urbina, 37, was brought back to the state by the Western District of Michigan U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Eight other people were convicted in the drug trafficking conspiracy. It involved current and former inmates of the Michigan Department of Corrections. They would obtain meth and heroin from Mexico and distribute the drugs across the state, including in Alger and Luce counties.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, which aims to “…repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.”
