SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects for drug trafficking after a traffic stop.
On March 28, a police detective assigned to the DEA Task Force was conducting drug interdiction activities on the KS Turnpike in South Wichita when he stopped a Cadillac Escalade exiting the Turnpike onto 47th Street South, according to a media release.
The vehicle was occupied by 35-year-old Victor Nunez, 35-year-old Huber Arzete and a 12-year-old boy off of Youngtown, Arizona.
Suspecting possible drug trafficking, a search was conducted which resulted in the seizure of approximately 7,000 illicit fentanyl pills believed to have originated in Mexico, bound for Missouri.
Both Nunez and Arzete were booked into the Sedgwick County Jail with a hold for the DEA in requested charges of drug possession and distribution
