Lamberto Arroyo-Mora, 30, Jorge Cruz-Vizcarra, 37, and Jorge Cruz-Gonzalez, 18, all Mexican nationals living in Jerome, Idaho, were arrested Friday, January 13, on charges of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

The charges are the culmination of a three month investigation into drug trafficking in the Jerome area conducted by the Idaho State Police. During the investigation, officers purchased approximately one-half pound of methamphetamine.

A search warrant was executed last Friday at a residence in Jerome where officers located approximately two pounds of methamphetamine, five firearms, and $2,900 in cash. Two vehicles were also seized.
