The Shasta Interagency Narcotics Task Force says a man from Venezuela was busted on drug and weapons charges Tuesday morning. The CHP stopped 25-year-old Danny Zambrano on Northbound Interstate 5 in Cottonwood for a traffic violation. The officer’s K9 indicated that drugs were present so the car was searched, allegedly resulting in the discovery of almost 2 Ounces of Cocaine, an AR-15 style pistol with no serial number, a Glock handgun, high capacity magazines and ammunition. Zambrano was booked into jail on $50,000 bail.
