| Loaded Door with 6lbs of meth concealed inside |
On February
18, 2014, a Missouri state trooper stopped a 2005 Nissan Murano for a traffic
violation on eastbound Interstate 70 near the 74-mile marker in Saline County,
Missouri. During the course of the traffic stop, inconsistencies and deceptive
behavior of the driver led the trooper to ask for consent to search the
vehicle, which was granted. The trooper subsequently searched the vehicle,
locating six pounds of methamphetamine concealed inside a false compartment in
the rear of the vehicle.
Salvador
Torres-Rubio, 28, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, was arrested for first degree drug
trafficking and transported to the Saline County Jail.
The charge for
which the above individual was arrested is mere accusation and not evidence of
guilt. Evidence in support of the above charge must be presented before a court
of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
