Detectives began working with a task force in Bloomington, California and had undercover detectives buy 100 pounds of “Mexican methamphetamine” from a supplier based in California.

We lived in Lakeland (Polk County) from 1979 to 2005. I visited some friends in 2012. The area has gone to hell IMO. I wouldn’t move back there for love nor money.
Disclaimer: Even if crime hadn’t increased, we didn’t like Florida weather and traffic. Growth ruined a very nice place. I moved there in 1965 and it was a totally different world.
They all have Mexican names … hmmmm ……
That ain’t nuthn
Year: 1989
Sylmar is something of a sleepy town northwest of Los Angeles, but it’s the site of what might be the biggest drug bust ever. In 1989, authorities seized more than 21 tons of cocaine worth roughly $6.9 billion on the street sitting in a nondescript warehouse.
sylmar near the I-5, 210, and 118 is great place to get out of if things get hot. Full of illegals down by the Freeways
When we engage with the cartels militarily we disrupt their operations slowing and eliminating the poisons they are using to kill our youth and kill the investments made by our elected officials in and out of government
Demand legislation for the sentence of execution for drug dealers and rehabilitation camps operated exclusively by prior enlisted combat soldiers and Marines (no exceptions in hiring) for addicts for terms of two years each.
Stop international trade with nations that export drugs to the U.S.A.
Haines city here.
Adding to my files. Did this happen in a Democrat area?
Part of the county is gerrymandered into the Dem area west of Orlando for Congressional purposes, but Polk County is mostly solid red/GOP.
