4 men charged with meth-related crimes in ND

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Four Arizona men have been charged with meth-related crimes in North Dakota.

KXMB reports (http://bit.ly/XYGvpj) that the charges range from criminal conspiracy to deliver meth to possession of meth with intent to deliver.

The men were arrested over the weekend, and Burleigh County State's Attorney Dawn Dietz says there may be more arrests in the future.

Authorities say the arrests may be related to a Mexican drug cartel.

The criminal complaint says the men planned to deliver meth between Dec. 17 and Jan. 18 and may have completed one drug deal.

The men face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.
