GRAND PRAIRIE (AP) - A North Texas man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison after officers found a large quantity of methamphetamine stashed in his Tupperware.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports a Tarrant County jury convicted and sentenced Nicolas Guaderrama for possessing a controlled substance with intent to deliver on Thursday. He was also ordered to pay a $100,000 fine.

Grand Prairie police officers found nearly 500 grams of meth in his apartment after his then-girlfriend requested a police escort to remove her things from the home. It was stashed in the storage containers above his refrigerator.
