A Houston man appeared in a Beaumont federal courtroom yesterday and was sentenced to 30
years in prison for drug trafficking. 33-year old Jaime Cruz Romero was a main supplier of
methamphetamine in the Houston and Beaumont area. Romero dealt directly with Mexican
sources which was confirmed to be with the Knights of Temple Cartel. Romero conspired with
others to distribute at least 62 kilograms of meth, 18 kilograms of cocaine, and 20 pounds of
marijuana.
