Santa Rosa police on Thursday arrested a man suspected of possessing
heroin for sale.
Marco Antonio Jimenez-Menera, 19, is suspected of selling
“red rock” heroin that is mixed with the synthetic opioid fentanyl,
police said.
He is believed to be part of a drug trafficking organization
that distributes the drug throughout Santa Rosa and surrounding Sonoma County
areas, police said.
Police began investigating a possible drug trafficking organization
in December.
When Jimenez-Menera was arrested at his residence at 3900 Montgomery
Drive, detectives found two pounds of suspected red rock heroin on his person
and $2,000 in cash, packaging material, digital scales and cell phones in his
apartment, police said.
Jimenez-Menera was booked in the Sonoma County Jail for
possession for sale of heroin.
