A Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Deputy busted 3 people from Richmond with a large quantity of dangerous drugs. At 2:10AM Monday morning a Toyota Camry was stopped on Interstate 5 near Mt. Shasta for having a burned out license plate light. 20-year-old Jimmy Gutierrez was driving without a license with 22-year-old David Hernandez and a juvenile as passengers. The deputy says he smelled Marijuana and saw several bags of it in plain view so he searched. In addition to a Pound and a Quarter of Cannabis, the deputy reported finding nearly 6 Pounds of Fentanyl. According to DEA guidelines, that’s enough for 1.3 Million lethal doses.
