Bob is correct. He was never arrested again for drug smuggling, nor was he caught smuggling, nor was he ever found in possession of drugs again.
A man known to agents was caught with a load of Marijuana, about the time Davilas was known to be coming to America for the trial.
That man told police he didn’t smuggle the drugs, that they weren’t his, but that Davilas had had car trouble and had drove to his house and left the drugs with him.
There was no evidence linking Davilas to the drugs other than the testimony of a known drug smuggler who gave informational testimony that was public knowledge because of the coverage leading up to the trial.
Because the story helps Ramos/Compean, it has been picked up and embelished with the usual flair WND brings to such things. It’s even within the realm of possibility that it’s true, but that is highly unlikely.
The man’s court case was recently completed, I believe he was convicted or pled guilty.
End of story.
Yeah, that’s why Sutton says the second arrest is “still being investigated”. Even he can’t force himself to say there wasn’t another marijuana load.
