McLain, age 32, and Karl Kaii Baker, age 34, were sentenced today in the United States District Court, for Conspiracy to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine (ice).

Federal and local law enforcement conducted a controlled delivery of the package to McLain and Baker, who were subsequently arrested.

U.S. Attorney Limtiaco commends the hard work and efforts of the USPIS, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, Guam Customs and Quarantine, Guam Police Department and the Guam Superior Court Probation office for their participation and assistance in this investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Clyde Lemons prosecuted the case.
