312

The Pinal County Narcotics Task Force, with the assistance of the marked patrol division, recently seized 2,927 pounds of marijuana from two vehicles near Stanfield. The marijuana-filled construction-type panel trucks were headed to the Phoenix area, but stopped short of their destination by law enforcement.

A search of both vehicles resulted in the arrest of three Mexican nationals: 39 year-old Jesus Miranda-Cota, Enrique Leon, 44, and Zamar Carbajal Serrano, 29. All three suspects are charged with (1) possession of marijuana, (2) possession of marijuana for sale, (3) transportation of marijuana and (4) possession of drug paraphernalia. They are being held at the Pinal County Adult Detention Center in Florence on $1.5 million bond.

Both vehicles were seized and other arrests are pending.
