Gary Knight said Thursday members of the Central Oklahoma Metro Interdiction Team stopped a tractor-trailer in Oklahoma City shortly after 3 p.m. April 25. He said officers interviewed two men in the vehicle and found their stories were inconsistent. “Ultimately, after suspicious actions, officers asked for consent to search the truck. Consent was granted,” Knight said. Officers used a drug dog to sniff the vehicle and entered the back of the trailer. Under a false wall, officers found 23 kilos of cocaine in individual bundles, Knight said. Jorge Alberto Guevara, 48, and Jacinto Ignacio Brizuela-Cruz, 23, were arrested on complaints of aggravated trafficking of illegal drugs, and booked into the Oklahoma County jail. A jail employee said each man posted a $25,000 bail and was released.
