ELKO, Nev. (KOLO) – A man who was arrested in Elko in July on drug charges has been arrested again on drug charges.

The Elko Police Department says Anthony Robinson, 45, of Henderson was arrested Saturday night following a traffic stop that turned up 80 fentanyl pills and more than $3,500 in cash.

Robinson, who had an outstanding warrant, was previously arrested in Elko on July 10 on drug-trafficking charges in connection with a scheme in which drugs were allegedly sold out of an Elko-area hotel.

Police spotted Robinson leaving a gas station on Lamoille Highway and conducted a traffic stop, where they say they found a hidden compartment containing pills.

Robinson was booked into the Elko County Jail on drug charges and is being held without bail.

Police believe that because of the small denominations of bills found in the car, Robinson was busy before he was pulled over.
