Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office busted a Surprise, Arizona man after he was found with massive amounts of methamphetamine in his vehicle.

According to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were conducting routine patrol on I17 north of Sunset Point in Yavapai County, when they noticed the driver of a white 2014 Nissan Altima, Carlos Camargo-Urias, was driving recklessly. Camargo-Urias had a 17-year-old in the car with him.

The deputy pulled over the 26-year-old Camargo-Urias. During the traffic stop, deputies say there were several red flags and Camargo-Urias was extremely nervous, so they searched his vehicle. Inside, they found several vacuumed sealed bags of methamphetamine, weighing nearly 50lbs.

“This is the second major methamphetamine arrests our deputies have made in the last week,” said Sheriff David Rhodes. “We all know meth is dangerously addicting and is damaging to the body. I want to thank our K9 deputy for making sure these drugs didn’t make it out into our community.”

Camargo-Urias is charged for possession of dangerous drugs for sale, transportation of dangerous drugs for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, and involving a minor in a drug offense. Bond is set at $500,000.
