MADISON, Wis. – An Arcadia man was sentenced to five years in federal prison for peddling cocaine at a barbershop and taverns in Arcadia. Karlett Salazar Zagal, 23, a Mexican citizen living in Trempealeau County, had pleaded guilty. U.S. District Judge William M. Conley in Madsen handed down the sentence. The drugs were shipped from Puerto Rico via Winona to dealers in western Wisconsin. Federal agents found 557 grams of cocaine hidden inside a large Bluetooth speaker. Investigators also found 506 grams being sent to an address in Independence in Trempealeau County. In exchange for the cocaine, the Wisconsin traffickers sent money and guns to Puerto Rico, the prosecutor said.
