Three men are arrested following a significant drug bust executed by the Butte Interagency Narcotics Task Force (BINTF) in Chico, where agents reportedly seize nearly a quarter pound of fentanyl and methamphetamine from the suspects’ vehicle. The operation centers around 41-year-old Wesley Woodworth, who is accused of trafficking fentanyl into Butte County.
In addition to the narcotics found during a traffic stop, BINTF agents discover illegal firearms and other drug-related items at Woodworth’s home. Among the seized items are over 106 grams of fentanyl, a ghost gun, and heroin, leading to multiple charges against Woodworth, including transportation and possession of fentanyl for sale.
