A Mexican national was arrested during a traffic stop on Interstate 10 Sunday, after authorities found $360,000 worth of meth and heroin in his car.
Luis Alberto Mazon Hernandez, 48, was booked into federal custody in connection with charges of the transportation for sale of dangerous and narcotic drugs, according to a news release from the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
At about 8 a.m. Sunday, a member of DPS' Arizona Border Strike Force made a traffic stop on Hernandez's vehicle, finding roughly 53.75 pounds of methamphetamine and 2.4 pounds of heroin- or 1.1. million hits- in the car, the release said.
βArizona Border Strike Force has done a tremendous job working to keep significant amounts of heroin, meth, and other drugs off our highways, drugs which can do great harm to people across this nation, and arresting those suspects transporting the drugs," Major Jack Johnson, Border Strike Force Commander, said in the release.
