BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ A Caldwell resident has been convicted of taking part in a conspiracy to sell methamphetamine.

Javier Castaneda was convicted in U.S. District Court after a five-day trial. He's scheduled to be sentenced at the end of June.

Officials at the U.S. Attorney's office in Boise say Castaneda was part of a methamphetamine distribution ring that shipped crystal methamphetamine from Mexico to dealers in the Treasure Valley and elsewhere.

The Idaho investigation included agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, local county and city police departments and the Idaho State Police.
