Two illegal aliens from Sinaloa, Mexico, were arrested for allegedly carrying about 33 pounds of Fentanyl -a quantity that could kill about 7.5 million people, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said.
Sheriff’s officials say they made a traffic violation stop on a vehicle traveling along Interstate 5 in Fresno County. As detectives were speaking to the men in the vehicle, K-9 Gere picked up a scent of narcotics, alerting detectives.
As a result, the Sheriff’s Office says 21-year-old Manuel Gonzalez Lopez and 32-year-old Mario Andujo Hernandez, both of Sinaloa, Mexico, were arrested and booked into the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office under suspicion of possession of narcotics for sale.
