Suspect arrested for having 13 kilograms of cocaine, 13 pounds of crystal meth and cash

Stockton police and federal agents arrested Antonio Barraza Bazua (from Stockton), 29 years old, for delivering 5 kilograms of cocaine to an informant on Thursday September 6th, 2007. About 2 hours after the delivery, Barraza was in his truck and arrested with another 3 kilograms of cocaine. A search of his apparent residence in the 2100 block of Stormy Creek Court resulted in another seizure of 5 kilograms of cocaine and 13 pounds of crystal methamphetamine. In addition $139,000 was found at this home. The U.S. Attorney's Office said that the wholesale price for one kilogram of cocaine in that area is valued at $16,000 to $17,000. The investigation was a spin-off from a 2005-2006 investigation by the DEA, FBI and included the California Highway Patrol, the Western El Dorado County Narcotics Enforcement Team, and U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement.
