SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. — A deputy with the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office discovered more than 4 kilograms of fentanyl during a routine traffic stop on Wednesday.

The deputy stopped a Toyota Corolla for a missing front license plate around 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 27. A search uncovered a suitcase containing the suspected fentanyl in the trunk. The driver admitted he’d been paid $4,000 to transport the drugs by “someone from Mexico”. He claimed his two passengers were unaware of the narcotics.
