Thirty thousand fentanyl pills, 2.25 kilograms of fentanyl powder, and a pound of methamphetamine – that’s what two Las Vegas men allegedly brought into the city. Francisco Felix, 36, and Alexis Arturo Martinez, 31, were arrested after a massive fentanyl seizure and indictment on April 10.
According to the indictment, the duo conspired to distribute large quantities of fentanyl and methamphetamine. Federal law enforcement executed multiple search warrants on April 9, seizing the drugs, a semi-automatic rifle, and over $30,000.
Authorities say the stash houses and storage locker were used to launder drug proceeds to Mexico. The indictment charges the men with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and methamphetamine, and money laundering.
Nevada is safer thanks to the whole-of-government partnership and interagency collaboration, said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah. The Las Vegas Homeland Security Task Force worked tirelessly to bring these traffickers to justice.
