WEST FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – Two Los Angeles men were arrested on drug charges after Cass County Drug Task Force and Drug Enforcement Administration agents made a significant methamphetamine bust following a tip that a drug courier was at a West Fargo hotel.
Investigators identified a possible suspect, Maynor L. Calix-Lopez and another man whose identity was unknown.
When officers served a search warrant for Calix-Lopez’s hotel room they seized 9.5 lbs. of methamphetamine.
Calix-Lopez, 38, and Alejandra Carreno-Reyes, 39, were arrested. The US Attorney’s Office may be asked to prosecute the case.
“The collaborative work of the DEA and the Cass County Drug Task Force is one of the most important protections we have in place to stop the flow of drugs into our community,” said West Fargo Police Chief Denis Otterness. “I want to commend all of the law enforcement personnel involved with case who worked tirelessly to bring these men to justice.”
Agencies who took part in the investigation included the DEA, Homeland Security Investigations, North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Fargo, West Fargo and Moorhead police, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office and the Clay County Sheriff’s Dept.
