A probe into a drug cartel operations in Riverside County wound up directing authorities to Jorge Oceguera-Rocha, a county deputy.
Former Riverside County sheriff’s correctional deputy Jorge Alberto Oceguera-Rocha, 25, has pleaded not guilty to drug charges. Authorities say an investigation into the Sinaloa cartel in Riverside County pointed them to a deputy who appears to be Oceguera-Rocha.
“During the course of the investigation, agents developed information regarding a corrupt Riverside County Correctional Deputy … ultimately assisting in the arrest of the deputy while he was in possession of 104 pounds of fentanyl pills,” the release said. Also, the release did not specifically say the deputy was working for the Sinaloa Cartel, and DEA spokeswoman Rosa Valle-Lopez on Thursday declined to confirm that link. But in announcing Oceguera-Rocha’s arrest, the Sheriff’s Department said he had “a pivotal role of trafficking large quantities of narcotics within Riverside County while off duty.
