The special agent wrote that Enriquez waived his Miranda warnings, admitted to trafficking multiple kilograms of cocaine and said there was about $200,000 and a handgun in the Extended Stay hotel room.
The complaint said simultaneously to the traffic stop, agents did a “knock and talk” at the hotel, where they wore tactical ballistic vests with “Police” markings.
The special agent wrote that a protective sweep was done of the hotel room before Sloss allowed a search of it. Police allowed a speakerphone call between Sloss and Enriquez in which Enriquez instructed Sloss to cooperate with agents.

A Springfield Xp-40 handgun and ammunition was found as well as the cash and some marijuana, according to the complaint.
The special agent wrote that Enriquez said they had 14 kilograms (about 30.8 pounds) of cocaine they brought from Texas to Ohio and that most of it was sold to someone in Detroit.
The complaint concluded that “Enriquez changed the total amount of kilograms of cocaine he transported and sold after agents discovered a ‘drug ledger’ in the hotel room,” but it did not specify the new number.
