Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A drug dealer in Southern Nevada pleaded guilty to multiple felonies on Tuesday, accepting a sentence of life in prison.

Oscar Cavadas, 27, was one of 14 people charged after officers with the Southern Nevada Drug Task Force seized more than 200 pounds of methamphetamine, $300,000 in cash and 11 vehicles in July of last year.

A spokersperson for Clark County said Cavadas pleaded guilty to several charges, accepting the life sentence with the understanding he'll be eligible for parole after nine years.

Cavadas is scheduled to be formally sentenced in February.
