A Sacramento man taken into custody last week on drug charges faces a second arrest stemming from the same raid on a motel he owns in the Nevada desert.
Raghvendra “Raj” Singh, 52, posted $50,000 bail early Thursday, 12 hours after being picked up at his midtown Sacramento fourplex on a felony fugitive warrant out of Mineral County, Nev.
On Tuesday, Handte said the district attorney was preparing a second arrest warrant based on the weight of the marijuana, which this week was determined by a scale at the Hawthorne Army Depot to be 144 pounds.
Singh faces a separate criminal investigation in Northern California after a drug task force raided two of his rural properties in El Dorado County on Sept. 5 and seized more than 100 marijuana plants.
