The Orange County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit seized 82 kilos of suspected cocaine and two kilos of suspected heroin, along with a firearm on Friday night.
Officials say the investigation was conducted at approximately eight o’clock Friday night at 511 West Hill Avenue Lot B10 in Hillsborough.
The suspected narcotics were concealed in various compartments throughout the residence, according to authorities.
Carlos Salazar, Edi Daniel Salazar-Jiminez, Miguel Angel Robles-Puentes and Jose DeJesus Villanueva-Miranda were arrested and charged with trafficking more than 400 grams of cocaine and trafficking more than 28 grams of heroin.
The four suspects are being held in the Orange County Detention Center under a $500,000 secured bond.
Who did the math here? 400 grams + 28 grams… apparently now equals 84 Kilos… Were they smoking the stuff when they did the math on that? Just checking…
The charge as written by your Legislators stipulates ” more than 400 grams” much like simple possession stipulates less than
one ounce. Thusly anything over 400 grams would be charged under this statute. Since 128 pounds is clearly over 400 grams, this charge is cited.
What’s sad is my buddy got caught with 15 grams of 512 Percocets first offense and got the same 500,000 $ bond complete let down by the justice system!!
