Marijuana bust 4-25-14

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 32-year-old Hutchinson man who was arrested after a search warrant was served on his home back on April 23, was back in court Wednesday morning where he was assigned an attorney and told of his next court appearance.

Gerardo Saucedo is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute and no drug tax stamp was assigned the Regional Public Defenders Office to represent him and his case now moves to a waiver-status docket on June 25, in front of Judge Joe McCarville.

Drug Unit detectives say they found over 90-pounds of marijuana in brick form, believed to be from Mexico. They also allegedly found numerous containers of high grade marijuana which were found scattered throughout the home, as well as new packaging materials, a digital scale and some weapons. The brick form marijuana had an estimated street value of over $80,000 with the high grade marijuana having a street value of around $16,000.

Saucedo is free on an $8,500 bond.
