2 Brothers Accused Of Dealing Meth, Cocaine In Napa County

NORTH BAY, CA — Two brothers from Solano County are facing federal felony charges of possession and sales of methamphetamine and cocaine in Napa County, authorities with the Napa Special Investigations Bureau said this week.

Vallejo residents Froylan Sanchez, 30, and Jose Sanchez, 24, are accused of selling 9.5 pounds of methamphetamine and half an ounce of cocaine Dec. 12 to an undercover detective, said NSIB Lt. Ricky Greenberg.

It was not the first time the brothers were accused of selling to undercover detectives, according to Greenberg.

NSIB detectives and Homeland Security Investigations agents began investigating the duo in August.

"On several occasions over the course of the next few months, the Sanchez brothers sold methamphetamine and cocaine to an undercover detective," Greenberg said.

Following the pair's Dec. 12 arrest, detectives obtained search warrants for residences in Vallejo and Earlimart.

"During the service of the search warrants, detectives seized two AK-47 assault rifles and a semi-automatic handgun, along with more methamphetamine packaged for sale," Greenberg said.

As of this week, Froylan Sanchez and Jose Sanchez both remained in federal custody, according to NSIB.
