Man arrested on drug charges following traffic stop

A 23-year-old Miami motorist was arrested Saturday after heroin and other drugs were found in the car.

Cesar Eduardo Diaz Vazquez was charged with trafficking heroin, possession of heroin and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.

Deputy Cristian Santos was conducting speed enforcement near Mile Marker 96 on U.S. 1 at approximately 1:51 a.m. when he observed an Infiniti car traveling 65 mph in a 45 mph zone. Deputy Santos saw some marijuana when the driver, identified as Diaz Vazquez, opened the glove box.

Diaz Vazquez stated “there is a lot more” drugs when Deputy Santos asked if there was anything else in the vehicle. Diaz Vazquez did not have a medical marijuana card.

A search of the car turned up 14 grams of heroin in separate packaged baggies for sale, three bags of marijuana candies and $881 in suspected drug proceeds.

Diaz Vazquez was taken to jail.
