Special Agents with the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, after a month-long investigation, established probable cause to believe that two subjects had allegedly been trafficking methamphetamine in the Eureka and Fortuna areas. On November 28th, 2018, agents served a search warrant at a Eureka residence.
At approximately 1:15 pm, agents observed Martinez and White driving their vehicle, and a traffic stop was initiated. Also present inside the vehicle was an infant child who was secured in the back seat. Martinez and White were detained without incident and a search warrant was served on their vehicle.
Sitting directly next to the child in the back seat agents located a Cheez-It box containing approximately 114 grams of suspected methamphetamine.
Martinez and White were subsequently placed under arrest. Child Welfare Services responded to the scene and placed the child into protective custody.
Agents then proceeded to Martinez and White’s residence. Agents served a search warrant at this location and located an additional 224 grams of suspected methamphetamine, digital scales, packaging material, and two firearms.
Martinez and White were transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where they were booked on felony child endangerment, transportation of controlled substances, and weapons violations.
