Sonora, CA…Man Arrested, Over 2-Pounds of Suspected Fentanyl Pills Seized Following Report of Found “M30” Pills** On Monday, May 5, 2025, just before 7:30 a.m., deputies responded to a report of found “M30” narcotic pills in the area of People of the Mountain Road near Highway 108.
Following an investigation, deputies identified 34-year-old Samuel Westphal of Modesto, as the individual who had been in possession of the found pills, which appeared to be counterfeit Oxycodone “M30,” pills – commonly known to contain fentanyl. A search of Westphal’s belongings and vehicle uncovered several items of drug use paraphernalia and two bags containing over two pounds of suspected fentanyl pills.
Westphal was arrested and transported to the Dambacher Detention Center, where he was booked on charges related to drug sales and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The seized fentanyl pills weighed over 959 grams (approximately two pounds), qualifying for a 7-year sentencing enhancement (an increase in the severity of his potential penalty) under Health and Safety Code §11370.4—a law approved by California voters in 2024 through Proposition 36, which increases penalties for fentanyl and other drug offenses involving large quantities.
The attached video includes footage from the arrest and images of the suspected fentanyl “M30” pills.
We urge the public to remain aware of the dangers posed by fentanyl and counterfeit pills and to continue to report suspicious drug activity by calling our non-emergency line at (209) 533-5815 or our Tuolumne Narcotics Team (TNT) tip line at (209) 533-5884.

How sad, it’s really a crying shame, and we almost get away with it. Sadly we were lied to. Lies from the legacy media, the Hamacrat politicians, the WH, President Biden, even the First Lady. To add injury to insult, we lost all 7 swing States and the popular vote too. What some salt in the open, bleeding wound? We lost the House and the Senate too, and our hamacrat politicians, all they do is put up a pathetic play of shedding tears over Trump trying to remove illegal immigrants that are rapist, murderers, sex offenders including pedophiles, sex and drug traffickers, Mexican cartel members, CCP spies like the one CA Stalworth was banging, and he was on an intelligence committee? Oh please, thanks Hamacrats for all the lies and STILL not having a platform, except trying to further screw America over, YOU’RE FIRED BYTCHES!!!
