A Canadian man was sentenced Friday to six years in federal prison for distributing hundreds of pounds of cocaine out of stash houses in the San Gabriel Valley community of Alhambra.<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson sentenced Sam Nang Bou, 41, of Edmonton, Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bou pleaded guilty in December 2022 to one count of distribution of cocaine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FBIIn total, for these eight additional distributions, Bou distributed approximately 341 kilograms (752 pounds) of cocaine and approximately 729.7 kilograms (1,608.7 pounds) of methamphetamine.<\/span><\/p>\n

In September 2022, Bou operated and controlled a Dodge Caravan with two hidden trap compartments that he used to store bulk quantities of drugs. He also controlled a storage unit in Alhambra, which he rented using an alias. On September 1, 2022, Bou drove the vehicle into the storage unit and locked the unit with the vehicle inside of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside the Dodge Caravan\u2019s two hidden trap compartments, Bou possessed\u00a0 about 104.3 pounds of cocaine and 325 grams of methamphetamine.<\/span><\/p>\n

containers of various chemicals used to clean the drugs, coveralls, various sets of gloves, numerous bowls and containers, several masks, and a respirator.<\/span><\/p>\n
