Suspects face 50 years after Martin County drug bust, high-speed chase

MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — A routine traffic stop in Martin County escalated into a pursuit that resulted in deputies discovering fentanyl, methamphetamine, MDMA, cocaine, and a stash of stolen credit cards, leading to the arrest of three individuals, all in their twenties.

“This was a big drug operation,” Martin Co. Sheriff William Snyder said. “We haven’t seen this much methamphetamine in this county in recent memory. They had 720 doses of fentanyl, about 8,000 doses of methamphetamine. So, you add those up, you have almost 9,000 potential overdoses here Martin County, and we have every reason to believe that narcotics was headed to our streets.”

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) stated that on Saturday night, deputies attempted to execute a traffic stop on Monterey Road near the Sheriff’s Office on Hollywood resident Juiber Ochoa, 28, in which, instead of stopping, he sped away in an attempt to return to the Interstate.

“They were right there at the Sheriff’s Office, so it was like kicking over a beehive,” Snyder continued. “Number two, they were in Martin County, where we’re pretty good at catching people that run from us.”
