Deputies in San Bernardino County, California, seized 19 bricks of cocaine last week, weighing almost 42 pounds and worth around $700,000 on the street.
The deputies were investigating a report of hand-to-hand drug sales in Grand Terrace and followed a lead by contacting suspect Ulises Solis-Diaz at around 6:17 p.m. Friday.
According to a statement Monday from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Mr. Diaz had active warrants and drug paraphernalia in his vehicle.
This prompted a search that uncovered fentanyl pills, ammunition, a lockpicking tool often used in car break-ins, and a key to a second vehicle, police said.
