An Escambia County man was sentenced t0 a decade behind bars, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins, on drugs and weapons charges.
Martin Oviedo was sentenced by Circuit Judge Thomas Dannheisser to 10 years in state prison with seven years as a minimum mandatory. Oviedo pled straight to the court to trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of firearm by a convicted felon, possession of ammunition and possession of marijuana.
Law enforcement took custody of several firearms which they later determined belonged to Oviedo. Further investigation revealed that Oviedo was staying at a local hotel and he was taken into custody. A search warrant was executed on the hotel room where methamphetamine, marijuana, and spice were located. A subsequent search of a related storage unit revealed ammunition that matched the caliber of weapons previously seized.
