EUGENE, OR – Two men unlawfully residing in the United States are facing federal drug trafficking charges after a routine traffic stop in Linn County led authorities to more than 100 pounds of illegal narcotics.
According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), 29-year-old Jesus Campos Roman, a Mexican national, and 27-year-old Eduar David Freites-Mosquera, a Bolivian national—both unlawfully living in Washington—were stopped by an Oregon State Police trooper on July 30, 2025, while traveling on Interstate 5.
A drug detection dog alerted officers to the presence of narcotics, prompting a search of the vehicle. Inside the trunk, investigators found over 110 pounds of methamphetamine, five pounds of cocaine, and four pounds of fentanyl pills.
Roman and Freites-Mosquera have been charged by criminal complaint with conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine. Both made their initial appearances in federal court on July 31 and were ordered to remain in custody pending further legal proceedings.
The case is being investigated by the DEA and Oregon State Police and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Huynh of the District of Oregon.
Authorities noted that a criminal complaint is merely an allegation, and both men are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
