A drug task force seized nearly 25, 000 morphine medications being kept in a suitcase under a mother’s baby at a house in San Jose, California, in one of the “largest fentanyl spasms in Santa Clara County history”, NBC Bay Area reported.  ,
Authorities also discovered 13 pounds of marijuana, 1.5 pounds of cocaine, a loaded firearm, digital scales, and$ 4, 000 in cash at the apartment of Octavian Moreno, 27, and Krystal Delgado, 23, the district attorney’s office announced.
Moreno and Delgado are accused of unlawfully possessing a firearm, one count of child endangerment, and three counts of drug possession for sale. Moreno is facing a maximum sentence of 18 years, and Delgado is facing 13 years in prison, according to the district attorney’s office.
In a statement, district attorney Jeff Rosen stated that” This county is where fentanyl and the callous disregard for its lethality took the lives of Baby Phoenix and Baby Winter.” As a caution to all parents, I had hoped that their brief lives had gained some significance. I’m relieved to see that that tragic list has not been updated.
The district attorney’s office said authorities executed a search warrant at the couple’s apartment on Tuesday, where they found 6, 000 grams of fentanyl pills, which equates to roughly 13 pounds. According to the report, the pills were contained plastic bags with the label” 10k.”
Moreno and Delgado’s one- year- old child was found just feet away from a bag of marijuana, playing in a playpen, the district attorney’s office noted.
” The cocaine was found in a kitchen cabinet next to the child’s formula, and the gun was found in an unlocked drawer in the kitchen”, according to the report.  ,
