PHOENIX (AP) - Two men have been sentenced to several years behind
bars for their roles in a gun smuggling ring that was part of the
U.S. government's Operation Fast and Furious.
The U.S. Justice Department says Jacob Anthony Montelongo was
sentenced Monday in Phoenix to nearly 3 1/2 years in federal prison
after pleading guilty to conspiracy and dealing guns without a
license. Sean Christopher Steward received a nine-year sentence for
conspiracy and lying.
During the Fast and Furious operation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives agents hoped to track illegally obtained
weapons to high-level arms traffickers, but authorities lost track of
many of the guns.
The operation led to congressional inquiries. It was exposed after
two of the illegally obtained weapons were found at the scene of the
2010 fatal shooting of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

TUCSON — A man accused of robbing marijuana smugglers after they
sneaked into the United States will be sentenced in federal court on
Dec. 17 for a conspiracy conviction.
Authorities say Rito Osorio-Arellanes was part of a ring that preyed
on smugglers.
Five other members of the alleged rip-off crew were accused of murder
in the December 2010 shooting death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian
Terry.
Rito Osorio-Arellanes was in custody before the shooting and doesn't
face murder charges in Terry's death.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to interfere with
commerce by robbery.
One of the five people charged in Terry's death has pleaded guilty to
a murder charge
Of the four others charged in Terry's death, one is in custody, while
three others remain fugitives.
