ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A woman from Albuquerque has been sentenced. The sentence is related to a drug trafficking crime.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and court documents, officials encountered two vehicles that were transporting methamphetamine to Farmington in October of 2017. A K9 sniffed the vehicle, and one of them contained 776.2 grams of meth. Melissa Redfearn-Martinez was reportedly driving that vehicle.

Jeremy Glaser, a lawyer and co-chair of Mintz's venture capital and emerging companies practice, said that despite how the recent IPOs have performed thus far, people need more data than just a few weeks, or a month, of trading to feel confident.

How to play Pokémon and other Game Boy games on your iPhone
Apple finally updated its App Store guidelines to allow global developers to host retro game emulators on iOS. Now, you don't need to jailbreak your iPhone or download any sketchy software -- you can get a sophisticated emulator right in the palm of your hand for free on the App Store. No one is more vindicated by this shift in Apple's policy than Riley Testut, the developer who made GBA4iOS about a decade ago when he was in high school (when he released GBA4iOS, I showed half of my AP Statistics class how to play Pokémon on their phones during class -- sorry, Mr. Cinelli).
