Reyes was arrested in September 2022 after Idaho State Police received an anonymous tip that he had gone to California to retrieve what the source called a “large quantity” of fentanyl pills.
ISP troopers used Reyes’ cell phone number to ping his location and track his return to Idaho.
Troopers conducted a traffic stop on a 2017 Honda Accord driven by Reyes for illegal window tint. During the stop, troopers found Reyes in possession of 216.8 grams — around a half-pound — of combined methamphetamine and amphetamine.
In addition to a sentence of three to 12 years in prison, Carnaroli ordered Reyes to pay $10,385.50 in fees and fines.
