JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – A routine traffic stop on I-70 late Sunday night led to the seizure of nearly $1 million worth of fentanyl – and the arrest of an undocumented immigrant wanted in Mexico for sexual assault. According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO), at around 10:25 p.m. on April 28, deputies pulled over a black Ford Explorer near I-70 and Harlan Street. After stopping the driver, deputies began to suspect there were narcotics in the car and called in the K9 team to investigate. When K9 Anton arrived on scene, he quickly confirmed the deputies' suspicions, alerting them to the presence of narcotics near the SUV's rear hatch.
