Los Banos CHP Arrests DUI Driver After Speeding Stop, Finds Fentanyl Pills

Los Banos, CA (June 18, 2026) — A driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI and several drug-related charges after a California Highway Patrol traffic stop for speeding, according to a post today from the Los Banos CHP.

Officers said the stop began after a vehicle was pulled over for speeding. During the contact, officers noticed signs and symptoms that the driver was impaired.

The driver was arrested for DUI and several drug charges, according to CHP. Officers also reported finding a large bag of fentanyl pills and other drugs inside the vehicle.

CHP did not identify the driver in the post or provide the exact location of the traffic stop. Additional details, including the amount of drugs recovered and the specific charges, were not immediately provided.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says driving while impaired by any substance, including alcohol, marijuana, opioids, methamphetamine or other impairing drugs, is illegal and dangerous.

The case remains another example of how traffic stops for speeding can lead officers to identify suspected impaired drivers and remove dangerous drugs from the road.
