On Friday, a federal judge in Maryland sentenced a Honduran man to 12 years in prison for attempting to hire someone to help him in a murder by selling them discounted cocaine.

Frelin Hernandez-Guardado, 30, was sentenced on the attempted murder for hire charge as well as a count of possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute it and possessing a gun as an illegal alien, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland said in a release.

Hernandez-Guardado acquired the illegal guns some time before October 2021, when he sold the guns in two separate instances to law enforcement sources.

In December 2021, after regional law enforcement busted a drug trafficking operation, Hernandez-Guardado told two confidential law enforcement sources that he wanted to kill someone that he believed cooperated with law enforcement leading up to the crackdown on the drug ring, federal prosecutors said.
