Albert Lea man sentenced to 5 years in prison for meth sale
Jul. 7—An Albert Lea man was sentenced to five years in prison last week for selling a pound of methamphetamine to a South Central Drug Investigation Unit informant in July 2024.
Aruan Enrique Campa, 39, pleaded guilty in May to an amended charge of third-degree drug possession for possessing 10 grams or more of a narcotic drug other than heroin or fentanyl as part of a plea agreement. He initially faced one charge of first-degree drug sale.
According to court documents, the informant reportedly purchased the drugs at Campa's residence on the 200 block of Morningside Road.
An agent reviewed the video of the transaction and positively identified Campa packing meth in multiple baggies while speaking with the informant.
Campa was given credit for 345 days already served on the charge.
