TEMECULA, Calif. — U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a man near Temecula with fentanyl and cocaine hidden inside his car Wednesday afternoon.

On Oct. 9 at approximately 5:15 p.m., agents stopped on a 2009 Ford Escape and conducted a canine sniff prompting agents investigate further.

Agents searched the vehicle and noticed the headrests of the backseats were unusually solid. Further inspection revealed two metal boxes fixed in the headrests. Inside the boxes were 12 plastic wrapped packages were nine packages of fentanyl, weighing 22 pounds. This quantity contains enough doses to kill more than 5 million people. The remaining three packages contained cocaine and weighed 2.64 pounds. The narcotics have an estimated street value of $236,400.

“This seizure represents a great victory for San Diego Sector,” said Chief Patrol Agent Douglas Harrison. “We are proud to say that this potentially dangerous combination of drugs will not reach local communities throughout the country. We stand with our law enforcement partners to combat the ongoing opioid crisis.”

The man, a 54-year-old U.S. citizen, was placed under arrest. The narcotics were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration and the vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.

This marks the largest fentanyl seizure for San Diego Sector so far in fiscal year 2020.

It should be legal to shoot them on the spot.

What ever happened that we no longer describe and name a “suspect”.

Over 12 years ago I was taking roxys and I was driving a cab.

I had 160 40mg pills a month.

My co pay was 5 bucks.

We got to talking on a ride one time, me and the customers, and one offered THOUSANDS for my bottle.

Of course I said now.

But there will ALWAYS be dealers as long as the profit potential is Astronomical. And that’s a shame.

Why is it always enough to kill millions? When did our government get so good at intercepting all of this deadly fentanyl? Even if 1 of these shipments got through and hit the streets, then how come millions are not dying, since that is always the claim?

Just curious...

The dea is the biggest drug criminal in the U.S. right along with the Chicoms. The criminal dea actually RAISED opioid production quotas in 2012-2016.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/oct/05/opioid-production-us-epidemic-drug-enforcement-administration

There is no real oversight of this agency just like all the criminal fed agencies. Do you actually believe that they destroy captured drugs? No way, they recycle then via HBSC. That’s the Hong Kong Shanghai bank.

The dea has been in existence for almost 50 years and all they have to show is billions wasted and more overdoses that ever.

Here’s a link on the death on fentanyl deaths from CDC data. The overdose deaths are a result of increased offshore drugs brought into the US market and they’re happening mostly among those under 30.

Most of these fed agencies have corrupt elements. I’m not sure about border control, but cia, fbi and dea certainly do. The basic problem is a lack of accountability. Auditing these agencies is even harder than auditing the Fed.

Fentanyl is a dream drug for all criminals inside and outside government. It’s very concentrated and easy to conceal. These stories are mostly for show to keep the sheeple in line trusting their government secret police.

I had jury duty for the first time in my life 40 years after high school.

Was a heroin dealer. A young woman who testified against him said that she bought from him and that her boyfriend had died from heroin they bought from him months before.

Her name was familiar but I couldn’t place it. Drove me nuts.

Later that night it hit me. I went to high school with this young woman’s mother 40 years ago!!! I had not seen nor talked to her in all of those years.

It had no bearing on the trial as we had already convicted the dealer before I realized who she was.

Then just two years later I was perusing Facebook and saw that this same young, beautiful woman had herself overdosed and died. She had supposedly turned herself around after her boyfriend had died but I guess just one more time was too much.

Heroin and fentenyl are the devil.
