Three men held in drug-related offenses


Three men were arrested Thursday afternoon on suspicion of drug-related offenses following two unrelated traffic stops in the Cutler-Orosi area.

Juan Espinoza, 33, and Marcos Espinoza, 35, of Dinuba were arrested after sheriff's deputies pulled them over about 12:30 p.m. in the 40500 block of Road 128 for a reported traffic violation. The deputies reported finding 29.4 grams of suspected cocaine in the vehicle the two men were in and arrested both on suspicion of possessing and transporting cocaine.

Also, shortly before 12:30 p.m., Javier Nunez, 30, was pulled over near Road 128 and Avenue 128 in Orosi by sheriff's gang detectives, and they determined he had no drivers license and had provided them with a false name. A search revealed Nunez was carrying cocaine and had two outstanding warrants, and he was arrested, according to a sheriff's report.
