Man arrested for running through Green River on meth with machete, police say
GREEN RIVER, Utah (ABC4) — A man was arrested on Friday for running through a Green River neighborhood with a machete, according to the Emery County Sheriff's Office. The man reportedly told police he was also under the influence of methamphetamine. Louis Sayna, 34, was arrested in Emery County for possession of a controlled substance (class A misdemeanor), use or possession of drug paraphernalia (class B misdemeanor), and prohibited dangerous weapon conduct (third-degree felony). On the evening of May 30, police responded to a residence in Green River where 'a male had ran to a house saying someone was chasing him,' a statement of probable cause reads. As an officer was en route to the scene, police received another call stating that a resident had a man knock on their door while carrying a large machete. Police arrived and found Sayna, who said that he had been riding the bus when some people 'were trying to force him to do things and were chasing him.' Sayna told police he ran from the bus stop and dropped the machete on the grass while approaching a home where kids were outside playing. The officer then found the machete in the grass and ran a records check on Sayna. Police learned that Sayna had a 'NCIC full extradition warrant' out of the state of Washington. The officer placed Sayna under arrest and found a glass pipe consistent with methamphetamine use in his sock. Police also found methamphetamine folded in a paper inside a small bag Sayna was wearing on his chest. Sayna told the officer he had used methamphetamine within the last hour before police arrived. Police said Sayna has an extensive criminal history. No further information is available at this time. Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

A 38-year-old Mexican citizen who previously resided in Kent was sentenced to 10 years in prison for drug trafficking. Ramon Duarte Garcia was arrested in June 2024, following a drug investigation lasting nearly four years. Between 2020 and June 2024 investigators seized more than 32 kilograms of cocaine, 14 kilograms of methamphetamine, 83,000 fentanyl-laced pills, 3 kilograms of heroin, and 1 kilogram of fentanyl powder. According to records filed in the case, Duarte Garcia's drug trafficking activity continued unabated following law enforcement stops in July 2023 and December 2023―during which methamphetamine, cocaine, and two firearms were seized from his vehicle. When Duarte Garcia's car was searched on December 4, 2023, law enforcement seized 13 kilograms of cocaine, a loaded Sig Sauer 9mm semiautomatic pistol, pistol magazines and ammunition, a shell casing, $1,716 in cash drug proceeds, a knife, and a drug ledger.
