ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) - Officials seized 12 pounds of cocaine and over $75,000 in cash during a multi-county drug trafficking investigation.

On Thursday, the Alamance County Sheriff's Office was contacted by deputies in Lee County regarding a drug trafficking investigation. The case originated in Charlotte, progressed to Lee and Chatham Counties and reached into southern Alamance County.

Investigators went to a home at 9473 B Perry Road in Graham. At that location, authorities arrested two suspects in connection with the investigation. Officials arrested Luis Maldonado Diaz, 42, of Charlotte, and Nicolas Hernandez Benitez, 39, of Charlottesville, Va.

Two other suspects fled out the rear of the residence, initiating a manhunt for several hours. Officials searched the perimeter and the Highway Patrol provided a helicopter to assist in the search.

Deputies said these two suspects are still at large.

Diaz and Benitez were charged with Level III trafficking cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and several other drug charges.

Deputies later arrested two additional suspects during a traffic stop. Luis Sanchez Rivera, 21, and Genoveva Jimenez Bautista, 24, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to traffic cocaine and possession of cocaine.

They were each placed in the Alamance County Jail under a $250,000 bond.

These two suspects are in addition to the suspects that fled investigators at the home on Perry Road.

At the time of their arrests, Rivera and Bautista had outstanding detainers from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Benitez had a detainer filed under the 287g program.

Good work

This is good work, but two of them already had detainers and were let go.
I suppose the theory is let them all in and wait until they traffic and distriburte drugs, drive drunk , rape and kill people to separate the wheat from the chaff. The the "wheat", the non violent ones go on welfare is just part of the Democratic Socialist agenda if destruction.

It is not a good plan for the legal citizens of this country to be the victims of this trail by error method and just so much collateral damage.
