SCSO K9 located 10 pounds of m**hamphetamine seized during traffic stop.
On 06/24/2026, at about 09:30am, a uniformed Sonoma County Patrol K9 Unit was on patrol in the area of Lakeville Highway in rural Petaluma when his attention was drawn to a speeding vehicle.
The deputy conducted an enforcement stop on the vehicle for speeding and contacted the occupants, Felix Miller, 61, of Santa Rosa, and Jedediah Renda, 56, of Forestville. While conducting his investigation, the deputy utilized his dual-purpose-trained police K9, Riggs, to conduct a narcotics sniff of the vehicle. During the sniff of the vehicle, Riggs detected the presence of narcotics inside. The vehicle was searched, and 10 pounds of m**hamphetamine was found inside. Both Miller and Renda were placed under arrest.
The Sheriff’s Office Narcotics unit was contacted and executed search warrants at Miller and Renda’s residences. During the subsequent search, more m**hamphetamine, a scale, packaging material, and a fi***rm were all located.
Miller and Renda were both booked into the Sonoma County Jail for 11378(a) HS, possession of a controlled substance for sale, 11379(a) HS, transportation of a controlled substance for sale, and 182 PC, conspiracy. Both were later released with a citation and ordered to appear in court on a later date.
