An illegal immigrant pulled over for speeding in Nevada allegedly had enough fentanyl in his truck to kill millions, federal prosecutors say.

Francisco Joel Garcia Farias, 26, now faces federal drug-trafficking charges after a Lincoln County sheriff’s deputy stopped his pickup on a rural highway and a narcotics detection dog alerted to the vehicle, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada.

Inside, authorities say they found 13 large storage totes packed with approximately 30 pounds of suspected fentanyl and 677 pounds of suspected methamphetamine, a combined haul of more than 700 pounds.

“The massive scale of this seizure underscores the staggering volume of illicit narcotics flowing into our communities from transnational criminal organizations,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada.

“Fourteen kilograms of fentanyl alone represents approximately seven million potentially lethal two-milligram doses — enough to kill more than twice the population of Nevada — and, when combined with over 650 pounds of methamphetamine, represents an estimated street value of approximately $2 million,” Chattah said.

Based on that lethal-dose estimate, the fentanyl could potentially kill nearly twice the population of Los Angeles, everyone in Indiana or roughly the entire population of Paraguay.

“These staggering quantities reflect a blatant disregard for human life, driven purely by profit,” Chattah said.

The Justice Department identified Garcia Farias as an illegal immigrant in its announcement of the charges.

The bust began Oct. 13 on US Highway 93 near Ash Springs, Nevada, where a deputy saw the pickup traveling above the posted speed limit, according to prosecutors’ account of the criminal complaint.

”Fourteen kilograms of fentanyl alone represents approximately seven million potentially lethal two-milligram doses…”

Or if you’re a glass half full kind of person, fourteen million relaxing one-milligram doses.

I was thinking the same. What an idiot, not just for the drugs, but for getting caught. Should get life for the drugs and some kind of second charge for stupidity.

one truck was ACCIDENTALLY detected, so the question is: how many illegal alien trucks full of enough fentanyl to kill millions are still roaming our highways?

Let him out of jail. He was on his way to Tennessee to give Christa Pike her last rites.

I watch Youtube highway arrest videos. Amazing amounts of narcotics are seized. Them Arkansas boys know how to do this very well.

[oldtech]

Shouldn’t be any question on how he needs to be charged.

The word is ALIEN ... not migrant ...
