Man arrested in Sacramento County, accused of having over 50 pounds of fentanyl
A 31-year-old man was arrested after he was accused of driving with around 54 pounds of powdered fentanyl, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said Friday.
Detectives pulled over the man, while patrolling a highway in southern Sacramento County, on suspicion of “multiple vehicle code violations,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post.
A police dog, named Ronan, was used during the stop and alerted deputies that narcotics might be in the vehicle. The Sheriff’s Office said deputies found two bags filled with almost two dozen bricks of fentanyl.
The man was booked in the Sacramento County Main Jail on Wednesday.
