@maddy.universe: NEARLY 65 POUNDS OF COCAINE SEIZED IN TENNESSEE TRUCK STOP; DRIVER HELD ON $500,000 BOND An overnight traffic stop involving a semi-truck led to the seizure of nearly 65 pounds of cocaine that police estimate could be worth as much as $1.5 million. The Erin Police Department announced the arrest on November 9, 2026, identifying the driver as Alfredo Lopez Trujillo, of Mexico. He was charged with possession of cocaine for resale and was being held on a $500,000 bond, according to authorities. Police said officers initially pulled the semi over for traffic violations. During the investigation, officers allegedly discovered 29.4 kilograms of cocaine—approximately 64.8 pounds. Authorities estimated the drugs’ street value at between $750,000 and $1.5 million. The report did not identify the specific traffic violations that prompted the stop or explain exactly where the drugs were found. After officers seized the drugs, the Waverly Police Department assisted with a K-9 for the truck’s trailer, according to Erin police. That sequence places the reported canine assistance after the initial seizure; the available reporting does not describe a K-9 alert as what first led officers to the cocaine. Several details remain undisclosed in the reports reviewed, including the truck’s origin and destination, the trucking company involved, its declared cargo and how the cocaine was allegedly packaged or concealed. Authorities also have not identified any additional suspects in those reports. Police said additional charges are pending, but did not specify what those charges might be. Trujillo’s arrest and the allegations against him are not a conviction. Erin police reminded the public that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
