Drug Bust in Greenfield, Indiana
GREENFIELD, Ind. — In a surprising turn of events, two men from California are now facing felony drug charges after a routine traffic stop in Greenfield, Indiana led to a major drug bust. The incident took place on Interstate 70, near Mount Comfort Road, where an Indiana State Trooper noticed a semi-truck driving suspiciously.
Suspicious Activity on Interstate 70
The trooper’s attention was piqued by the semi-truck’s erratic behaviour, prompting him to pull over the vehicle for further investigation. Upon inspecting the semi, the trooper discovered a logbook violation that raised red flags. Sensing criminal activity, the trooper requested permission to search the vehicle, which the driver granted.
Discovery of Cocaine in Onion Boxes
During the search, the trooper made a shocking discovery – nearly 200 pounds of cocaine hidden inside boxes of onions in the back of the semi-truck. The illicit substance, later confirmed to be cocaine, weighed a total of 184 pounds. The driver, identified as Jose N. Perez, and his passenger, Miguel Rodriguez, were promptly arrested on drug charges.
Arrest and Charges
Perez, 66, and Rodriguez, 60, both residents of California, were taken into custody and booked on possession of and dealing in cocaine charges. Perez is facing a level 2 felony charge, while Rodriguez is charged with a level 3 felony.
