SUMMIT COUNTY - Summit County deputies are looking for two men they dropped off at a hotel after seizing their vehicle for drug possession.

More than eight pounds of cocaine and a half a pound of meth were ultimately found in the suspect's vehicle.

Arrest warrants for 22-year-old Guillermo Garcia and 30-year-old Alexis Javier Rodriguezramos, both from California, were issued Friday.

The Summit County Sherriff's Office says the two were stopped by deputies for a traffic violation on Interstate 70 the evening of Feb. 12. During the stop a K9 unit detected the presence of drugs and the vehicle was impounded.

Deputies gave the two men, who said they were on their way to visit family in Denver, a courtesy ride to a local hotel

During a search of the vehicle on Feb. 20, deputies found the pounds of drugs with a street value of $120,000. Summit County authorities say there is enough probable cause to issue an arrest warrant for the two men.

Their location is currently unknown.
