Drug Dealers Sentenced To Prison Following ABC Agents’ Undercover Investigation

Posted on January 9, 2015

cabcaCalifornia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) agents were instrumental in putting a  stop to a San Rafael store owner, a clerk and their drug supplier after a year-long undercover  investigation into drugs being sold inside the Azteca market.  

The ABC agents worked with the Marin County Major Crimes Task Force to investigate the illegal operation.   An ABC agent was the primary undercover officer who purchased crystal meth from two store clerks and negotiated the sale of a pound of meth with the store owner.

Store owner Alfredo Lopez-Villegas, 50, store clerk Alejandro Miranda, 27 and drug supplier Miguel Macias, 24, were arrested March 2014 , plead guilty to drug charges in September 2014 and were sentenced in December 2014.

New_Picture_(20)“These drug dealers  conducted this illegal activity where shoppers came in to buy their bread and milk,” said Alan Barcelona, president of the California Statewide Law Enforcement which represents ABC agents.  “Our ABC agents put themselves in the thick of this type of illegal activity, facing great danger,  in an effort to make our neighborhoods safer. “

The investigation revealed the money made from selling the drugs at the market was being wired to Mexico.  ABC agents posted a Notice of Suspension at the Azteca market on November 20, 2014.
