Members of the Lee County Sheriff's Narcotics Unit arrested 31 year-old Jorge Luis Meraz-Luna and charged him with
trafficking by transportation, trafficking by possession, maintaining a
vehicle for sale or delivery of drugs and possession of drug
paraphernalia.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office made one of the biggest cocaine busts
in county history today. The above suspect was arrested in possession of eight kilograms of the cocaine powder, estimated street value of about $1.6 million.
The investigation is still ongoing and further arrests and busts are expected.
The suspect will likely be deported after his trial and any potential prison
sentence. He is a Mexican national, from the state of Sinaloa, and
was in the U.S. illegally because he had overstayed his visa.
