Man admits selling meth out of vacation rental

One of the principals in a Stateline drug sales ring operating out of a vacation rental admitted to selling methamphetamine on three occasions and attempting to sell a quarter-pound of the drug on a fourth occasion.

Diego Coralles, 48, appeared in Douglas County District Court on Aug. 31, where he entered guilty pleas to three counts of sales of a controlled substance and one count of attempted sale of a controlled substance.

Each of the counts carries a potential sentence of 1-6 years in prison.

Coralles was arrested in a May 14, 2020, drug raid along with Joseph Cudia, 46, and Meagan Rene Turkington.

In exchange for his plea, prosecutors won’t pursue a habitual criminal charge against him.

Coralles must also contribute to $19,440 in restitution to the owner of the vacation rental on Bonnie Court at Stateline.

A trial for Cudia was canceled in April after he failed to appear in court. Turkington was granted diversion on her charges on condition she pay a share of the restitution.
