♦ Marco Antonio Santillan, 24, of Salisbury and an alleged major meth trafficker in a city drowning in meth, heroin, and crack, walked out of the YMCA at 828 Jake Alexander Blvd. Tuesday with a female companion when he was abruptly surrounded by agents from the DEA and other federal agencies with their guns drawn. Noting the overwhelming show of firepower, Santillan promptly surrendered without resistance and was handcuffed.
Santillan was charged with traffic in methamphetamine (felony) and conspire to traffic methamphetamine (felony). Under a secured $1,000,000 bond, Santillan is currently being held in the Rowan County Detention Center in Salisbury.
