Manitowoc police arrest 38-year-old man after finding drugs under loose panel in his vehicle
MANITOWOC – Manitowoc police officers found methamphetamine in a vehicle during a traffic stop Monday.
At 5:15 p.m. March 10, the officers stopped a vehicle for illegal window tint and loud music, according to the arrest record.
During the course of the traffic stop, the vehicle's driver, a 38-year-old man, stepped away from the vehicle. K-9 Riley was brought out to sniff around the vehicle and alerted to the presence of drugs, causing the officers to initiate a full-vehicle search.

During the search, one officer noticed a loose panel under the radio. They pulled on the panel and uncovered an opening where two cloth bags had been hidden. In those bags, they found two plastic bags with methamphetamine in them, two small "gem bags" that also contained methamphetamine, a larger empty bag that looked like it was used to transport a larger amount of the drug, and a digital scale. When officers weighed the amount of methamphetamine found, it was almost 40 grams, which is above "normal user amounts," according to the arrest record.
Manitowoc police are recommending the man be charged with felony possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, felony bail jumping and misdemeanor bail jumping.
Charges have not yet been filed in the Manitowoc County Circuit Court. The Herald Times Reporter does not name suspects until they have been charged.

Bakersfield man accused of killing estranged wife makes first court appearance
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A man accused of killing his estranged wife last month at a house in east Bakersfield made his first court appearance Monday, more than a week after he was first scheduled to be arraigned. Rafael Estrada, 44, pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, four counts of willful cruelty to a child, spousal abuse, allowing or causing injury to an elder or dependent adult, recklessly evading a peace officer, driving a vehicle in the opposite direction of traffic and resisting arrest. Several prior arraignment dates were postponed. No reason for the postponements was given in court. Court Commissioner Samantha Allen ordered Estrada held without bail. His next hearing is scheduled June 20. Around 8:30 p.m. on May 28, deputies were called to a house in the 2400 block of Monterey Street to reports that a man had seriously injured his wife. They arrived and found Taylor Danay Dominguez Estrada, 32, with 'severe trauma,' according to sheriff's officials. She was declared dead at the scene. Family members have told 17 News that Rafael Estrada showed up to a party uninvited and slit his wife's throat in front of at least one child. Rafael Estrada was spotted by sheriff's helicopter driving away in a white truck before deputies arrived, officials said. Deputies located and chased the pickup until the pursuit ended about 10 miles away in the 9900 block of Ramos Avenue. Officials said a K-9 was used to take Estrada into custody.
