KINGMAN – Transporting illegal drugs into Mohave County will send a Tacoma, Wash., resident to the Arizona Department of Corrections. Fredy Robles-Rodriguez, 31, was sentenced to two years in prison after he entered a plea agreement on April 29 at the Law and Justice Center in Kingman.
Various drug and weapons offenses were dismissed in exchange for the conviction of Robles-Rodriguez on a charge reduced to attempted transportation of narcotic drugs for sale.
Deputy Mohave County Attorney Eric Nolan told Superior Court Judge Lee Jantzen that equipment failure prompted a DPS traffic stop of the vehicle Robles-Rodriguez was driving in extreme northwest Arizona on Nov. 7, 2025. He said one kilogram of cocaine in a vacuum-sealed package was located in the vehicle and confiscated after the defendant pulled over on Interstate 15, four miles south of the Utah border.
Branding the amount of cocaine seized as significant, Judge Jantzen rejected supervised probation and imposed the 24-month prison term.
