Chicago Cubs prospect Jesus Camargo is on trial on four drug charges after he was arrested in Arizona on Wednesday.
Per Darren Whitehead of 9News, Camargo is in Eagle County Jail after deputies reported that they lost £ 21 of the methamphetamine and 1.2 pounds suspected oxycodone pills in a suitcase bag after being pulled down for driving, chasing and floating between lanes.
Camargo is charged with possession and distribution of meth and oxycodone.
Zane, the Eagle County K-9, signifies “to the rear wheel pit of the car and an ‘area under the rear seat’ there was something unusual in that area.
Deputies discovered a Cubs suitcase in which ‘several baseball gloves, clamps, several neatly packed bags of white fabric, two green packages, and a bag presumably dipped in essential oils containing $ 1,000 cash.
According to the statement arrested by Whitehead, there were a total of three people in the car when the Eagle County Deputy Sheriff Evan Jaramillo made contact with Camargo.
Camargo is still being held in jail under a $ 75,000 bond.
The Cubs signed Camargo in December 2014 as an unknown free agent. He started his professional career in the Mexican league with Diablos Rojos del Mexico.
Camargo, 25, spent the 2019 season at the Cubs’ High-A branch in Myrtle Beach. The right-hander returned to Mexico last year and appeared in five games with Yaquis de Obregon in the Mexican Pacific Winter League.
