Routine Traffic Stop in Menifee Leads to Drug Bust

Sheriff's deputies arrested a Fallbrook man early this morning after the search of his vehicle during a traffic stop uncovered a large amount of illegal drugs, according to authorities.

Daniel Ramos, 28, was stopped by deputies at 1 a.m. near the intersection of Antelope Road and Scott Road for a vehicle code infraction. When a Sheriff's K-9 unit arrived and conducted a search of the 2016 Ford F250 truck, a backpack was located with six pounds of methamphetamine, three ounces of heroin and counterfeit U.S. money.

Ramos was booked at the Southwest Detention Center for transportation and possession of methamphetamine and heroin for sales. Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call Deputy Frank at 951-210-1000, or by email at PerrisStation@RiversideSheriff.org
