The USDOJ claims the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel was arrested in Salem as part of the largest fentanyl bust in DEA history.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the man was leading a drug trafficking organization across several states.

Heriberto Salazar Amaya, a Mexican national, was arrested last week in Salem and identified by federal prosecutors as one of the leaders of the alleged drug ring.
