A Dexter man has pleaded not guilty to a drug trafficking charge.
Flabio Herrera, 26, entered the plea on one count of trafficking a controlled substance, distribution, narcotic or meth, when he appeared Monday via Google Meet at his arraignment in New Mexico’s 5th Judicial District Court in Chaves County, according to documents of the court proceeding.
Herrera was one of three people traveling in a red Mercury SUV stopped by police on Oct. 26, 2019 at 2:05 a.m. in the 800 block of West Mathews Street.
Police would later find methamphetamine in the SUV, along with large amounts of cash, marijuana, glass smoking devices and packaging materials, according to court documents.
