A man suspected of selling large quantities of methamphetamine in Nevada and Placer Counties was taken into custody at a Grass Valley Motel Tuesday. Sheriff Keith Royal says that 29 year old Jack Noriega is a parolee at large from the Truckee area and the Narcotics Task Force had information he was staying at a South Auburn Street motel. Around 2:00 PM officers saw Noriega exit a room at the motel and made contact arresting him for the warrant. At that time they approached the room.
