The incident happened on Aug. 24 on I-10 near Red Rock after a trooper stopped the driver of a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta sedan for moving violations, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.
The trooper noticed multiple signs of criminal activity during the traffic stop and searched the vehicle, revealing 46 pounds of the illicit and deadly pills, the department said.
An investigation determined the pills were being smuggled from Nogales, Mexico, to the Phoenix area.
Authorities identified the driver as 20-year-old Izayah D. Ocasio, of Phoenix.
Ocasio was arrested and booked into the Pinal County Jail on charges including possession, transportation, and sale of narcotic drugs. |
