In Hillsborough County, Florida, deputies uncovered about 11 ounces of cocaine while searching a Tampa home and two storage units in Lutz, leading to multiple felony trafficking charges for a local man.
Thirty‑seven‑year‑old Miguel Rivera Andujar was taken into custody on Thursday, October 8, 2026, following a two‑month probe by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Gang Unit.
Detectives opened the case after learning Rivera Andujar was dealing illegal narcotics. They secured search warrants for his Dake Lane home in Tampa and two Lutz storage units. Deputies recovered roughly three ounces of cocaine from the Tampa residence and an extra eight ounces from one of the Lutz lockers.
Jail records indicate Rivera Andujar faced six charges, four of which are felony cocaine‑trafficking counts stemming from the seizure.
The indictment lists one count for trafficking 200‑400 grams of cocaine, three counts for trafficking 28‑200 grams, plus possession of under 20 grams of cannabis and drug paraphernalia.
Judge Martin set Rivera Andujar’s bond at $126,000,$50,000 for the higher‑tier trafficking count, $25,000 for each of the three other trafficking charges, and $500 for each misdemeanor.
