Livermore K-9 Spots Meth, Fentanyl In Car

LIVERMORE, CA — A Livermore police dog discovered large quantities of narcotics and paraphernalia in a car in Livermore.

On Tuesday at 12:45 p.m., an officer and his K9 Drake noted a man checking under the hood of a car with Washington plates. The officer asked the driver if he needed help, and he replied that he was traveling from San Jose to Washington. He then went into a store.

During that time, Drake smelled narcotics in the car. Officers say they found methamphetamine, four ounces of fentanyl, and other drug paraphernalia inside. 38-year-old Ramon Guzman and 31-year-old Taylor Bickler of Washington both admitted to purchasing the fentanyl earlier in the morning in the Central Valley, with the intent to sell it in Washington.

Both suspects were arrested on several drug charges, police said.
