A federal jury this week convicted Armando Daniel Calderon of San Jose of four charges related to methamphetamine trafficking as well as possession of a gun while committing those crimes in San Jose and Menlo Park in 2018.

Calderon, 35, was convicted Wednesday in U.S. District Court  in San Francisco of four felonies: two counts of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine; conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine; and carrying a firearm during these crimes.
