Two Carson City men were arrested Wednesday on allegations they sold 61 grams of cocaine and 3.4 grams of methamphetamine to undercover officers.
Trinidad Garcia-Lugo, 30, and Jorge Villareal-Mariscal, 22, were arrested for trafficking in cocaine. They were picked up in the parking lot of a north Douglas County shopping center.
Douglas County Sgt. Dan Britton said Thursday the arrests were the culmination of a month-long investigation into their alleged cocaine distribution activities.
The arrests were made by the Douglas Street Enforcement Team and the Tri-NET drug task force.
Both suspects live in the 3300 block of South Carson Street in Carson City.
Britton said Garcia-Lugo has been deported twice from the United States to Mexico.
At their arrests, the suspects were accompanied by a woman with three small children, Britton said.
The woman was not arrested.
Garcia-Lugo was charged with three counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and conspiracy to violate the Uniformed Controlled Substance Act.
His bail was set at $85,000. Villareal-Mariscal was charged with two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and conspiracy to violate the Uniformed Controlled Substance Act. His bail was set at $60,000.
