Eleven people were arrested in Tucson Tuesday following a lengthy drug-trafficking investigation involving several law enforcement agencies, officials say.
The Drug Enforcement Administrationโs Sierra Vista office and the Arizona Department of Public Safetyโs border strike force have been investigating alleged drug trafficking activities of Luis Agustin Montaรฑo Hernandez since December 2018, the DEA said in a news release.
On Tuesday, detectives seized more than a pound of heroin, small quantities of methamphetamine, half a pound of suspected fentanyl, about $21,000 in cash, eight vehicles and nine weapons, the department said.
The agencies allege the drug trafficking organization operated in the Tucson area and supplied Pima and Cochise counties with heroin and methamphetamine, the department said. Detectives with the Arizona Attorney Generalโs office served warrants at six Tucson locations.
Those arrested were: Luis Montaรฑo-Hernandez, 36; Tatiana Tapia, 33; Jesus Emmanuel Tapia, 19; Antonio Rubio, 67; Tracey Trevena, 60; Irene Norzagaray, 65; Raymond Taylor, 68; Carlos Navallaz, 22; William Kehn, 59; and Jeffrey Stirnweis, 62.
Evidence will be submitted to the state Attorney Generalโs Office, a news release said.
