HAGÅTÑA, Guam — Two men were arrested on drug charges in separate incidents over the weekend after Drako, the Guam Police Department’s drug-sniffing K9, detected narcotics during traffic stops, according to magistrates’ complaints filed in Superior Court.
The first arrest occurred around 7:11 p.m. Saturday in Agana Heights, when police stopped 51-year-old Wayne Ignacio Siguenza for expired registration tags on his moped. Siguenza consented to a vehicle search, and Drako alerted officers to the presence of drugs.
Police found a meth pipe and a bag of methamphetamine in Siguenza’s pocket. He admitted to smoking meth “a couple of hours ago,” according to court documents.
Siguenza was also linked to a separate case involving a firearm found at his home in March. The gun, police said, had last been registered to another individual in 2012.
He was charged Monday with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession of a firearm without a firearms ID card, both third-degree felonies.
Early Sunday morning, Drako assisted in another stop when officers pulled over a Toyota Camry reportedly traveling 60 mph on Route 10 in Mangilao. The driver, 36-year-old Lawrence Anthony Fejarang, appeared nervous, and officers noticed a clear bag in the pouch containing his license.
After Drako alerted to the vehicle, Fejarang consented to a search. Police found a pipe with meth residue and .21 grams of methamphetamine. He was charged Monday with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, also a third-degree felony.
Drako, a 2-year-old drug detector dog, joined GPD in November 2024 as part of a multi-agency effort with Guam Customs and Quarantine, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Department of Corrections. He and eight other dogs were trained to detect methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, and marijuana.
