Two drug traffickers who were arrested during a traffic stop in California last week after they got allegedly busted with 150,000 pills of fentanyl have been released back onto the streets.
Detectives arrested Jose Zendejas, 25, and Benito Madrigal, 19, both from Washington, during a fentanyl bust in Tulare County on June 24
The two were booked into the county's pre-trial facility on charges of possession, transportation, and selling of illegal drugs
In an update on Monday, the sheriff's office said they "received a court order releasing both suspects from custody on their own recognizance."
Fentanyl is increasingly cut into other drugs to cut costs
In recent years, fentanyl, much of which is brought into the country via Mexican cartels from China, has triggered the recent spike in deaths
Earlier this year, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued a warning about a surge of fentanyl overdoses and mass overdose events
