An Illinois man who told police he was traveling to visit his family in California was arrested in Utah Friday after police reported finding 101 pounds of methamphetamine in his vehicle. Carlos Guadalupe Navarro Ornelas, 37, was booked into the Juab County Jail for investigation of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
