An Arizona correctional officer and Army National Guardsman allegedly smuggled more than 20 kilograms of methamphetamine and a kilogram of heroin across the United States/Mexico border, all with his wife and three children in the car with him, authorities say.
Fernando Urrutiaguillen, 34, from Chandler, Arizona was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers on the 5 freeway in Irvine on April 18 for a traffic stop. Officers say a K-9 alerted them to drugs stashed in the gas tank of Urrutiaguillen’s vehicle. They believe Urrutiaguillen was attempting to drive the drugs over the border and into California.
