Federal investigators are currently looking into the LEGAL STATUS of those arrested.

The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office’s Interstate Criminal Enforcement Team [ICE] made a traffic stop on Sunday, pulling over a 2014 Freightliner tractor-trailer on Interstate 77.

Their trained narcotics detection dog signaled the presence of drugs in the vehicle.

Upon searching the vehicle, officers found 53.6 kilograms [about 118 pounds] of a substance suspected to be fentanyl, potentially mixed with cocaine, and also seized over $100,000 in cash.

According to the sheriff, the drugs have an estimated value of $30,000 per kilogram, bringing the total estimated street value to roughly $3,752,000.

Lorenzo Juan Arreola, 44 Years Old, from Sunland Park, New Mexico, and Lucio Eduardo Chavira Avila, 33 Years Old, from Parral Chihuahua, Mexico were arrested.
