Two arrested on cocaine charges

Two Key West, Florida men were arrested Saturday after approximately 1.3 pounds of cocaine was found following a traffic stop on U.S. 1.

Juan Carlos Gallardos Cruz, 35, and Servio Jesus Rodriguez Borges, 52, were both charged with trafficking cocaine. Gallardos Cruz was also charged with possession of four grams of methamphetamine.

Both suspects were in a Kia van that was stopped near 85th Street in Marathon at approximately 6:32 p.m. for traveling too closely.

K9 Coral alerted to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle. The cocaine was wrapped like a Christmas gift. The methamphetamine was found in multiple baggies also in the vehicle.

Both men were taken to jail.
