A normally placid parking lot was ablaze in the flashing of police lights and those in the vicinity were wide-eyed as three men were taken into custody on suspicion of drug trafficking on January 4th after a continuing investigation by Lane County Sheriff’s deputies led them to the parking lot of the West Lane Center at Highway 126 and Territorial.
Ronald Antonio Aguilar-Espinoze 24, and Edil Mario Zuinga-Navarro 19 were found to have warrants for their arrest from Multnomah County for Delivery of a Controlled Substance. A subsequent search of the car, a Chrysler 300 sedan, led deputies to seize nearly a pound of fentanyl powder, several hundred pressed fentanyl pills, and 3 ounces of heroin. A related warrant also led to the seizure of a pair of firearms. Aguilar-Espinoza, Zuniga-Navarro, and the third person in the vehicle, Josef Dylan Burns, 55, were taken into custody and charged with various drug offenses. Aguilar-Espinoza and Zuniga-Navarro were lodged at the Lane County Jail on their outstanding warrants and the investigation is continuing with more charges possible. Authorities describe the seizure as “large-scale.”
