A Maricopa County grand jury has indicted two women who were arrested in August after sheriff’s deputies discovered duffel bags filled with 850,000 fentanyl pills in a vehicle.
Kimberli Guadalupe Torres-Marin, 26, and Alexa Torres-Marin, 22, were arrested on Aug. 24.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said Monday they have been indicted on one count each of sale or transportation of narcotic drugs.
The drugs were found last month by Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputies in the vehicle the women were driving toward Phoenix last month, officials said.
“Two out of five counterfeit pills that come across our border are laced with lethal doses of fentanyl. These drugs are being marketed to our youth in the most proliferous ways and are being produced in candy-like colors,” Rachel Mitchell, county attorney, said in a release.
“We must hold those who bring these lethal pills into our community accountable.”
