Last month the California Highway Patrol pulled over two men in Tulare County, which is part of California’s Central Valley about midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Both men were from Washington state and when police performed a search of their vehicle they found 150,000 fentanyl pills:

In addition to the fentanyl, they also had two kilograms of cocaine in the vehicle. Based on the amount of drugs involved, they were booked into jail with a bail amount of $1 million each. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of the story.
"…when Tulare County Probation Department submitted a pre-trial risk assessment of the suspects to the Tulare County Superior Court, the men were classified as “low risk” and released on their own recognizance.
DA and Tulare County sheriff officials say they weren’t consulted regarding the release…
If convicted on all counts, Zendejas and Madrigal face up to 14 years in state prison…
The men are expected back in court on July 21. After being released from jail, law enforcement officers haven’t been able to locate the defendants."
So today is July 21, the day the defendants were expected back in court. Big surprise, neither one of them showed up. The Sheriff believes they have fled the country.

Did they get their drugs back ?
Shocking news… TOTALLY UNEXPECTED.🙀🙀
No way dude! 😜😜😜
My shocked face “ 0 “
Maybe somebody knows how to do a better face.
“Dude! How did your arraignment go?”
“Wait ... what?”
/s
It’s called failure to appear. The cop them go looking for him/her. Why go to court when you can get a ride there?
Just look at the county sheriff booking logs. Pics included. No Robertos or Jose’s. Mostly Artemio’s and Estuardo’s.
Trump would run them out but it will take 3 years. We should listen to the cops on law enforcement. Same with nurses on health care.
Citizen arrest the judge.
That won’t work.
Tar and feather?
You have to scare them
How many people could 150,000 fentanyl pills kill? I thought it was a very dangerous substance .
I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you
Yep, didn’t see that coming. /S
:-o
