Hacienda Heights, Downey men indicted in massive Rhode Island drug bust

From the Associated Press:
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Two men, including one from Hacienda Heights and one from Downey, linked by authorities to an unspecified Mexican drug cartel and charged in one of the state’s largest-ever drug busts have been indicted in federal court.
Armando Saucedo, of Hacienda Heights, and Andrew Rios, of Downey, were indicted Wednesday on conspiracy and drug and gun possession charges. A third man, Adilson Reyes, of South Ogden, Utah, has already been charged and pleaded not guilty. The court earlier entered not guilty pleas on Rios’ and Saucedo’s behalf.
The men were arrested in January with over $1.2 million and $6.6 million worth of cocaine. An arresting agent’s affidavit says that at the time of his arrest, Reyes admitted he drove large shipments of cocaine from California to Rhode Island.
Lawyers for the men didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment.
