Three Mexican residents were arrested after allegedly being caught with
30 pounds of crystal methamphetamine during a drug deal late last week
in Bellevue.

Law enforcement intercepted the multi-national drug ring, setting up a
drug deal to purchase approximately 30 pounds of crystal methamphetamine
for $62,000.

The deal went down in a restaurant parking lot in Bellevue. Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI) was involved in the bust and the
subsequent investigation.

“After seeing the drugs, law enforcement swooped in to arrest the drug traffickers,” the Department of Justice stated in its report. “The traffickers attempted to flee but were taken into custody.

The three suspects — Eber Omar Barrones-Madrid, 24, Juan Jose
Prado-Estrada, 25, and Jose Manuel Ochoa-Sanchez, 27 — have been charged
with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and possession of controlled substances with an attempt to distribute. They are currently
being held at the Federal Detention Center at SeaTac.
