A Sacramento man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute, according to federal prosecutors.

In a search of the home of A Vern Saeteurn, 34, on Sept. 6, 2018, law-enforcement officers found around 11 kilograms of meth, a distribution lab in his garage used for “adulterating and packaging” meth, and several guns, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California stated in a Friday news release.
