Arcadia, WI — A 21-year-old Wisconsin man is facing multiple drug charges after a routine traffic stop in the early hours of June 1 led to the discovery of illegal substances in his vehicle and later at his residence.
According to the Trempealeau County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy pulled over a vehicle around 2:15 a.m. in the City of Arcadia. The driver, identified as Rudis N. Hernandez-Flores, quickly emerged as a suspect in the distribution of controlled substances to minors in the area, including methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana.
During the stop, K9 Luke of the sheriff’s office conducted a free-air sniff and alerted officers to the presence of drugs inside the vehicle. A subsequent search by the Independence Police Department uncovered suspected methamphetamine, marijuana, and distribution-related items such as plastic baggies and a digital scale.
Hernandez-Flores was arrested at the scene and transported to the Trempealeau County Jail.
Authorities later executed a search warrant at Hernandez-Flores’ apartment, where they recovered additional methamphetamine and packaging materials believed to be used in drug distribution.
No further details were released by law enforcement. The investigation remains ongoing
