(KMJ) – A Tuesday afternoon Traffic stop near the city of Coalinga turns into a major drug bust.
Here are the details, as released by the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office:
Detectives patrolling the area of Interstate 5 and Highway 198 in Coalinga conducted a vehicle stop. During the detective’s interaction with the driver, 25-year-old Victor Corella, K-9 Willow alerted them to the odor of narcotics.
Detectives discovered Corella had approximately 4,000 counterfeit Oxycodone Hydrochloride pills in his car. These blue pills, which are frequently seized by law enforcement nowadays, are known to contain a high concentration of Fentanyl. They are stamped with a capital ‘M’ and the number 30. Ingesting one potentially has fatal consequences.
Corella was then booked into the Fresno County Jail for possession of drugs for sale.
