A month of undercover work in the Reno and Sparks area came to a head with a traffic stop that led detectives to more than three pounds of methamphetamine and $8,178 in cash.<\/p>\n
The Regional Narcotics Unit had been investigating suspected drug trafficking and distribution for about a month before detectives stopped a vehicle on Oct. 1 near Sutro Street and Selmi Drive in Reno. The vehicle was being driven by 23-year-old Maicol Martinez-Ramirez, a California resident. Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9 deputies assisted with the stop, and a search of the vehicle turned up the drugs and cash.<\/p>\n
Martinez-Ramirez was arrested and booked into the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility. He faces charges of trafficking of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A month of undercover work in the Reno and Sparks area came to a head with a traffic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":489559,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8,191096,723,6874,2781,100940,734,3482,29386,12651,100944,46599,100937],"class_list":["post-489558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-chemicals-in-medicine","tag-crime","tag-drug","tag-drugs","tag-illegal-drug-trade","tag-law-enforcement","tag-nevada","tag-organized-crime","tag-pharmacology","tag-psychoactive-drugs","tag-reno","tag-social-aspects-of-psychoactive-drugs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
