A 22 year old Grand Island man is facing drug charges after a report of a traffic issue around 2:30 a.m. on July 27th at SW 40th and West O Street.
Officers found a grey BMW stopped in the westbound lane of traffic. As officers approached the vehicle, they found a man unresponsive in the driver’s seat. On his lap was a vial that police later determined contained cocaine.
Officers woke up the driver and found he was under the influence of narcotics. Officers also found $1,370 in cash on Kalef Blanco-Vasquez that included bills rolled up containing suspected cocaine residue. They also found several self-sealing bags and one large bag that contained 2.3 grams of cocaine.
Blanco-Vasquez was booked for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of money while violating a drug law, no proof of financial responsibility, driving during revocation and no proof of ownership.
