Lindenwold Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Narcotics Trafficking Operation

Camden, NJ – A Lindenwold man charged for trafficking crystal methamphetamine and co***ne throughout southern New Jersey has received a two-decade prison sentence, announced Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay.

Diego Juarez-Ventura, 39, was sentenced on April 17, 2026, to 20 years in New Jersey State Prison. He previously pled guilty on March 16, 2026, to three counts of 1st-degree Possession with Intent to Distribute Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS).

Juarez-Ventura was charged in April 2025 following a long-term investigation by detectives with the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force. During the investigation, detectives seized 1.5 pounds of crystal methamphetamine, nearly half a pound of co***ne, and more than $30,000 cash, following searches at multiple addresses associated with Juarez-Ventura in Lindenwold and Winslow Township. Under the terms of the sentence, Juarez-Ventura will be subject to forfeit more than $20,000 of the currency seized by investigators.

“I’m incredibly proud of the perseverance and exceptional investigative efforts led by our HIDTA Task Force in collaboration with our state and federal partners,” said Prosecutor MacAulay. “Removing this defendant from our streets not only makes our county safer, but also protects countless lives from the devastating impact of drug addiction and abuse.”

The State was represented by Section Chief/Assistant Prosecutor Lauren Pratter of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Unit. The case was investigated by HIDTA Task Force Officer (TFO) Detective Robert DiGerolamo of the Winslow Police Department. Additional assistance was provided by Homeland Security Investigations – Cherry Hill and the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice.
