Heading: Drug Distribution Points

Text: 14 Wilfredo Martinez-Matta testified that by the time the drug operation was located at the Coral Beach mesa in 1991, the organization had drug points in Manati, Vega Baja, Arecibo, Campo Alegre, and Sabana Seca. Wilfredo Martinez-Matta worked at the Vega Baja drug point where he sold fifty packages of heroin every ten days; each package, obtained for $75 and sold for $100, contained ten decks of heroin. Colon-Miranda and Richard Munoz-Candelaria occasionally supervised the Vega Baja drug point. Later, Wilfredo Martinez-Matta supervised a drug point in Manati where he sold approximately one hundred packages of heroin every three days and also sold marijuana and vials of crack. 15 David Martinez-Matta supervised one of the Arecibo drug points where he sold heroin, cocaine, crack, and marijuana from 1991 to 1995. He testified that Colon-Miranda would deliver the drugs for distribution. He also stated that on two occasions he saw Colon-Miranda make deliveries to Luis Rosario-Rodriguez. 16 In 1990, Jose Ibanez-Maldonado began to accompany Colon-Miranda on drug deliveries to the drug distribution points; later, Ibanez-Maldonado also assisted with packaging drugs at Colon-Miranda's Dorado home and at a mesa in the King's Court condominium. 17 After the Santiago-Lugo/Rosario-Rodriguez conflict erupted in February 1993, the exchange of drugs and money moved from an apartment in the Davila housing project to Merced-Morales' bar, Chompa, in Monacillos. Both Wilfredo and David Martinez-Matta testified that on numerous occasions they delivered money there and obtained drugs from Merced-Morales and Collazo-Aponte, including kilogram quantities of crack.
