A New York man was sentenced to 14 years in prison for conspiring to sell cocaine in Waldo County.

U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II said that Carlos Flores Zamora, an illegal alien from Mexico, was sentenced Monday to 172 months in prison and five years probation for dealing more than 20 kilograms of cocaine between 2005 and 2009.

Zamora was living in New York and selling the cocaine to a Massachusetts college student who sold it to associates in the Belfast area. Zamora wired some of the proceeds to associates in Mexico, prosecutors said.

Zamora was removed from the country in 1998 and twice in 2004.
