Two men were arrested and thousands of fentanyl pills were seized at a West Valley City hotel on Monday after a criminal investigation.
A staggering amount of pills have been seized in Utah by various law enforcement agencies all over the state. DEA agents showed some of the drugs seized in the state at a news conference on Thursday, July 25, 2024.
According to charging documents, the task force initiated an investigation earlier in October to look into the source of supply for narcotics within a drug trafficking organization who was distributing large quantities of narcotics in the Salt Lake Valley. A search warrant was served on Monday. Investigators say they located approximately 35,000 M30 fentanyl pills and "found U.S. currency consistent with being drug proceeds."According to the documents, both Dominic Aceves and Cristo Salazar admitted to coming to Utah on Sunday, October 20, 2024 with the intent of distributing the M30 fentanyl pills.
