Noe Raygoza-Garcia, 33, was expected to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon at a Riverside court. He was indicted on March 27 on one count of possession with the intent to distribute the smuggled drugs.
Raygoza-Garcia was pulled over in March after driving suspiciously on the northbound Interstate 15 near a Border Patrol checkpoint north of Temecula. With the help of a drug-detecting dog, federal agents found narcotics hidden in the back seat, according to court documents.
If convicted, Raygoza-Garcia would face at least 10 years in federal prison. He is being held without bond.
