When Detective Tate Howe asked David Sosa Mendez to pull over on Water Street, it was for speeding and driving erratically. Upon searching his car, however, he found evidence that Mendez, an illegal immigrant who was driving without a license, was also involved in selling drugs. Sheriff’s deputies and members of the county’s Anti-Crime Team obtained a warrant to search the suspect’s home, and turned up 8 oz. of meth, 10 grams of heroin, 3.5 grams of cocaine, and about $3,300 in cash.
