CBS New York has learned daycare suspect Felix Herrera-Garcia was arrested in Mexico while on a bus to the city of Culiacan, which is a hub for the most powerful drug cartel in the world. Herrera-Garcia was last seen carrying bags out the back alley of Divino Nino Day Care on Sept. 15, after parents left their babies for daycare and were exposed to fentanyl. One died.
Federal authorities claim the four latinos (here illegally?) were operating a criminal drug ring out of the day care....large quantities of narcotics were hidden under the day care’s floor boards.
“It would be indicative of a larger-scale steady distribution network w/ customers and clients...... and has resources and connections to Mexico,” said Ray Donovan, retired DEA chief of operations.
Donovan said Herrera-Garcia attempting to go to Culiacan was significant, because it’s the main operational center for the Sinaloa cartel’s deadly fentanyl distribution.
