COTATI (AP) ―
Three Sonoma County residents are facing charges after what's being called one of the biggest meth busts in the Bay Area in at least three years.
Authorities say during a raid on a trucking company in Cotati, drug agents seized 29 pounds of methamphetamine valued at $1.3 million.
A spokesman for the DEA says the raid Tuesday night at Discovery Transportation came after an investigation involving the DEA, the FBI and Sonoma County narcotics agents.
Two men arrested as part of the investigation are being held without bail.
Authorities identified them as 42-year-old Miguel Murillo-Dominguez and 23-year-old Miguel Murillo Jr.
They're being held on suspicion of transporting a controlled substance for sale and possessing a controlled substance for sale.
Also arrested was 42-year-old Elia Murillo—Murillo-Dominguez's wife.
She was booked on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance.
