OKLAHOMA CITY — Police arrested two California suspects for trafficking a large amount of cocaine through Oklahoma.

The bust was a few weeks ago along I-40 near Peebly Rd.

Jorge Guevara, 48, and 23-year-old Jacinto Cruz were booked into the Oklahoma County Jail after the bust.

Police said the pair was driving a semi when officers stopped the vehicle for a traffic violation.

A drug dog first sniffed the loot after officers asked to search the vehicle.

MSgt. Gary Knight said, “Officers opened up the back of the semi and basically climbed over things and made their way to the front where a false wall was found. In that false wall was 23 kilograms of cocaine.”

Authorities said the cocaine would be worth $250,000 to $800,000 on the street.

Knight said, “It was in numerous bundles. Obviously it was being transported to be sold somewhere else.”

OKLAHOMA CITY — The trial begins for a Del City dad accused of child neglect in the death of his three kids.

Christopher, Crystal and Kaylee Dunham died last year in an RV fire.

Monday a jury was selected in the trial of their father, Christopher Dunham.

He’s charged with child neglect or enabling child neglect as well as a possession of drug paraphernalia.

Testimony will begin Tuesday morning.

During trial the defense intends to call friends, family and co-workers to court to show Chris as a loving dad who was at work when the fire broke out and did nothing wrong.

“The defense always wants the jury to relate to the defendant. They want to see him as something other than someone charged with a crime, to identify with him on a personal level, as a father,” legal analyst Jacqui Ford said.

The children’s mother, Stephanie Dunham, entered a no contest plea last week.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Thursday marked a busy day for law enforcement across the metro.

Oklahoma City police, and several other agencies, teamed up to arrest more than a dozen known gang members.

The sweep stretched from Midwest City to Guthrie.

In all, 14 men all from the same Hispanic gang were arrested, most on the charge of racketeering.

It’s not the first and won’t be the last time local law enforcement cracks down on the illegal activity.

“This related a lot to drive-by shootings other activities the gang including drug use,” Oklahoma City MSgt. Gary Knight said.

A neighborhood on S. Byers is one of many where police showed up Thursday to arrest accused gang members.

The investigation this week centered on one specific Hispanic gang, allegedly operating as an organzied criminal enterprise.

“This gang has been acting as a business conducting criminal activity,” Knight said.
