Traffic Stop Nets Large Drug Bust

(Portland, OR) -- Authorities say a traffic stop in Portland on Sunday resulted in a major drug bust. Police got a tip that 22-year-old Juan Berrelleza Leyva, a Mexican national living in Portland, was allegedly moving drugs on I-5 toward Portland. When officers tried to pull him over, he initially didn't stop. When he did pull over, a narcotics K-9 alerted and officers found 200 pounds of meth and two pounds of heroin hidden in a duffle bag, suitcase, and trash bag. Leyva entered the U.S. seven months ago and reportedly admitted to running drugs from other states into Portland. He was charged in federal court.
