Sacramento County man had meth, concentrated cannabis in Placer traffic stop, deputies say [The Sacramento Bee]
Dec. 15 Deputies arrested a Sacramento County man after a traffic stop in Placer County led to the discovery of methamphetamine and some of the materials needed to make concentrated cannabis, sheriff’s officials said.
Shem Ortiz of North Highlands was arrested last week on suspicion of manufacturing a controlled substance, possessing meth, possessing drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended driver’s license, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday.
Ortiz, 45, was pulled over by a deputy shortly before midnight on Dec. 7 along Interstate 80 near the Foresthill Road exit. The deputy then learned Ortiz had two warrants for his arrest from Sacramento County.
