Ricardo Antonio Melara/El Salvador/Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine

Ricardo Antonio Melara, a citizen of El Salvador, was convicted in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute at least 500 grams of methamphetamine.

The charge reflects his role in an agreement to obtain and distribute a trafficking‑level quantity of meth, focusing on possession with intent to distribute rather than simple possession.

The 500‑gram threshold confirms the case involved distribution‑scale narcotics activity, but available information does not specify offense dates, co‑conspirators, investigative agencies, or whether he was convicted after a plea or trial.
