Patrol stops truck loaded with meth

August 8, 2002 By admin

Another big highway drug bust this week, in far western Iowa. The state patrol says it was about an hour after sunrise Tuesday morning when they stopped a 2002 Chevy pickup for speeding on Interstate 80 about the seventeen-mile marker. When the officer got permission to search the vehicle, he had it taken to a garage to do a thorough inspection, complete with the aid of a drug-sniffing dog. They had to take the truck apart to get out the fifty-two pounds of methamphetamine that turned up after the dog signaled a find. 41-year-old Simitrio Aviles of California’s being held in the Pottawattamie County jail and his meth’s being estimated at two-point-nine million dollars street value.
