(KRON) — One of the largest seizures of fentanyl in Santa Clara County history happened inside a San Jose couple’s home, where 13 pounds of fentanyl was found stashed under their baby’s crib, prosecutors revealed on Thursday.
A 1-year-old boy lived inside a home riddled with drugs.
The baby’s father, 27-year-old Octavian Moreno, and mother, 23-year-old Krystal Delgado, stored a backpack under a crib where the baby slept, prosecutors said. Inside the backpack, investigators allegedly found 25,000 fentanyl pills.
Moreno and Delgado were arrested when the Santa Clara County Specialized Enforcement Team raided their home on May 7.
“Officers found the couple’s one-year-old baby playing in his playpen a few feet away from one of the bags of marijuana. Cocaine was found in a kitchen cabinet next to the baby’s formula,” the District Attorney’s Office wrote.
During the raid, SCCSET seized 1.5 pounds of cocaine, a loaded gun, 13 pounds of marijuana, digital scales for weighing narcotics, and thousands of dollars in cash, the DA’s Office said. Prosecutors said the 13 pounds of fentanyl was packaged as 25,000 pills in plastic baggies. The loaded gun was found in an unlocked drawer in the kitchen, investigators said.
