During a traffic stop in Fresno County on Oct. 3, a drug-sniffing dog alerted his handler to narcotics inside of a cooler. Authorities found 11 pounds of fentanyl inside raw beef.
California Highway Patrol officers scored a “meaty haul” in early October when they seized nearly $1.7 million worth of fentanyl in the Central Valley, some of which was founded packed inside carne asada. The seizures were made on Oct. 3 and 4 during two different traffic stops, according to the governor’s office and CHP. During a traffic stop on Oct. 3, a drug-sniffing dog alerted his handler to narcotics inside of a cooler.
CHP posted a photo of the seizure, with several bags of the blue pills and the guns on the hood of the car. The two suspects, also from Washington, were arrested and face multiple felony charges. Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement that the seizures were part of the state’s continued effort to get “deadly and illegal drugs off our streets.” “I am proud of the efforts by our CHP officers here to help keep our community safe and hold drug peddlers accountable,” he said.
