Lake Havasu City Police officers on patrol made a civil traffic stop on SR 95 near Oro Grande Boulevard at approximately 10:00 p.m., on Friday February 21, 2020. While talking with the driver, officers were able to utilize Lake Havasu City Police Department’s newest addition, K-9 “Rocky.” Rocky alerted on the odor of a narcotic drug inside the vehicle.

Officers conducted a search of the vehicle and discovered approximately one pound of cocaine packaged for individual sale.  The cocaine had a street value of between $25,000 and $30,000. 

As a result of the investigation, Christian Nava, a 28-year-old Lake Havasu City resident was arrested and charged with transportation of narcotic drugs, possession of narcotic drugs for sale, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

After his initial appearance, Christian Nava posted bond and will appear in court on a future date.
