Four drug arrests in Howard Lake



The Wright County Drug Task Force made a drug bust in Howard
Lake March 10.

Samuel Cruz, 38, of Winthrop and Alfredo Lopez, 24, of
Hutchinson were cited for possession of marijuana and released.

Juan Francisco Coronado, 23, of Cokato, and Andrew Ramirez,
24, of Litchfield, were arrested for possession of methamphetamine, according
to Hozempa.

He said that agents of the Wright County Drug Task Force
witnessed a rear seat passenger in a vehicle ingesting a controlled substance.

The vehicle was followed into the Dura Supreme parking
lot in Howard Lake, Hozempa said.

Ramirez was transported to Buffalo Hospital and later taken
to Hennepin County Medical Center after swallowing the narcotics in his
possession in an attempt to elude arrest.
