While participating in “Operation Countermeasure”, deputies and agents stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation. During the encounter, the driver consented to a search of the vehicle that led to the discovery of narcotics hidden in an ice chest within the vehicle’s cargo area.
The driver, a male U.S. citizen, was arrested and booked into the Pima County Detention Facility on charges of possession and transportation of a dangerous drug for sale.
Operation Countermeasure is a multi-agency cooperative effort among law enforcement agencies along the southern Arizona border.
