APD finds 120,000 fentanyl pills, AR rifle in car belonging to man who drove with girlfriend on hood
May 15—A 911 call about a woman on the hood of a moving vehicle in Southeast Albuquerque led police to discover 120,000 fentanyl pills and thousands of dollars in cash in the driver's possession. David Cervantes, 27, of Veguita, is charged with aggravated battery of a household member, kidnapping and six counts of trafficking a controlled substance and possession of more than 8 ounces of marijuana. Cervantes is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center. His attorney said he had no comment. Police identified Cervantes through video surveillance from the Smith's grocery store at Yale and Coal SE, according to a criminal complaint filed at Metropolitan Court. On April 29, the Albuquerque Police Department received a call of a woman on the hood of a moving vehicle outside the Smith's, according to the complaint. Security guards told police a man and woman were arguing before leaving in a vehicle with her on the hood. The vehicle crashed a few blocks away and officers found Cervantes injured at the scene, and he told them he was driving, police said. A witness told police he saw a woman, who told police she was Cervantes' girlfriend, fall off the car before the crash. She was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the complaint. The girlfriend told police the two had gotten into an argument when he took her purse and drove off, the complaint states. Police said officers saw a gun in the vehicle and had it towed to be searched at a later date. On May 2, police searched the vehicle and found an AR-style rifle, 120,000 fentanyl pills, almost 28,890 Xanax/Oxycodone pills, 359 grams of cocaine, 56 THC concentrate packages and $49,940 in cash.
