Apr 26 2013
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) —
Federal officials say a suspected drug trafficker affiliated with the
deadly Sinaloa Cartel couldn't dance his troubles away.
Omar Cota was taken into custody early Friday off a dance floor at Route 66 Casino's Club Envy in New Mexico. Officials say federal agents and police in Laguna arrested the 28-year-old after receiving a tip that he liked to go to the casino. No information was available about his dance partner.
The U.S. Marshals Service says Cota had an outstanding federal arrest warrant for drug trafficking and had eluded federal agents since February 2012.
Authorities say agents found a large amount of cash and suspected drugs with Cota, who is believed to be a member of the Brew Town gang.
