MARIN COUNTY, CA — Nearly $60,000 in cash along with items associated with drug trafficking and identity theft were seized last week during the arrest of a suspect on a no-bail warrant, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said.

The suspect on Nov. 9 was arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance for sale and possession of equipment to make or traffic counterfeit credit cards, among other charges, the Sheriff’s Office said on the agency’s Facebook page.
