Officers searched the car after a drug detection dog warned them of the presence of drugs. Investigators discovered four pounds of fentanyl tablets, five pounds of cocaine, and more than 110 pounds of methamphetamine inside the trunk.
Roman and Freites-Mosquera are accused of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine in a criminal complaint.
