Nashville Police Department narcotics detectives, joined by TBI agents, on Sunday arrested four men and took 4.1 pounds of crystal meth and 25 grams of cocaine, both laced with fentanyl, off of Nashville’s streets.

The four were taken into custody just after arriving with the drugs at a Joyce Lane parking lot in East Nashville.

They are facing multiple felony charges and are identified as Samuel Arteaga-Hernandez, 34, Reynol Arteaga-Hernandez, 38, Tereso Artega-Hernandez, 40, all of Nashville, and Sergio Calixto, 24, of Fresno, California.

Detectives had received information that Samuel was in possession of a large quantity of crystal meth and would be coming to the East Nashville parking lot. He was seen arriving in a pickup truck being driven by Reynol. The pickup truck was followed by an SUV being driven by Tereso with Calixto as the passenger. When Samuel was seen getting out of the truck carrying a plastic bag, detectives and agents approached both vehicles. Samuel dropped the bag and ran. He was apprehended after a brief foot chase carrying a loaded pistol and a bag of white powder. The other 3 were taken into custody without incident.

The powder Samuel carried weighed 25 grams and tested positive for cocaine and fentanyl. The plastic bag Samuel dropped contained bundles and bags of a crystal substance that weighed 4.1 pounds and tested positive for meth and fentanyl.
