WILLMAR, Minn. — A Willmar man has pleaded guilty to selling cocaine to an undercover agent.

Sammy Sandoval Jr., 24, pleaded guilty Monday to a first-degree drug sale charge for selling 15.3 grams of cocaine to a Brown-Lyon-Redwood County Drug Task Force agent and a task force informant on June 29, 2011, in southern Kandiyohi County.

Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 14.

The charge was filed after the informant and agent met Sandoval at Harry’s Corner, south of Willmar, and completed the drug deal in a vehicle with Sandoval weighing the drugs and giving the cocaine to the agent in return for $600.

The drugs were field-tested and found to be cocaine. The task force has also filed an affidavit for restitution for $600.
