Sharma unwittingly crossed the border on foot at Blaine in October 2017 and was arrested.

He admitted his guilt in June 2018, but had his sentencing hearing delayed several times since then.

It is currently scheduled for April 6 before U.S. District Court Judge Michael M. Anello.

U.S. court documents state that “beginning on a date unknown and continuing up to and including Oct. 27, 2016,” Sharma “did knowingly and intentionally conspire with other persons known and unknown” to distribute methamphetamine in the Southern District of California.

The other charges all relate to transferring or transmitting funds totalling US$46,326 on several dates in 2016.
