ROCHESTER, Minn. – A trial is scheduled for a California couple accused of transporting pounds of cocaine through Olmsted County. Jorge Arreola, 36 of Colton, CA, and Noemi Cervantes, 36 of Colton, CA, are charged with importing drugs across state borders, first-degree drugs sales, and first-degree drug possession.  The Minnesota State Patrol says the two were pulled over on Interstate 90 in Olmsted County around 3:45 am on January 31.  The State Patrol says their vehicle had no front license plate, a nearly opaque window tint, and crossed the fog line.
