Members of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Street Enforcement Team, working with the Western El Dorado Narcotic Enforcement Team (WENET), arrested Reyes-Vizcarra in a Stateline casino parking lot.

Officers confiscated 116.5 grams of methamphetamine that the suspect reportedly transported from California to Nevada. The methamphetamine is estimated to have a street value of approximately $11,000.

The arrest was the culmination of more than a month-long investigation. During the course of the investigation, investigators performed a number of surveillance operations, during which they observed Reyes-Vizcarra conduct several drug trafficking activities between Placerville and Stateline.

Reyes-Vizcarra has been deported times for criminal activity, investigators said. Because of this, he was being held without bail.
