IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. - Authorities in North Carolina said a traffic stop yielded so much fentanyl it was enough to kill nearly 27 million people, more than twice the state's population.
The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office said its Interstate Criminal Enforcement Team (ICE) conducted a traffic stop Sunday when they pulled over a 2014 Freightliner tractor-trailer on Interstate 77.
Authorities said, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration website, "One kilogram of Fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people."
"This math shows that 53.6 kilos could potentially kill 26,800,000 people," authorities posted on its Facebook page. "North Carolina has a population of 10.7 million, so this would cause death to the entire population of North Carolina 2.5 times over."
The men were arrested and transported to the Iredell County Detention Center and were each issued a $3.5 million secured bond. Federal investigators are currently looking into the legal status of being in the U.S.
Inside the truck were Lorenzo Juan Arreola, 44 Years Old, from Sunland Park, New Mexico, and Lucio Eduardo Chavira Avila, 33 Years Old, from Parral Chihuahua, Mexico. Authorities said they were going from Charlotte, North Carolina to Philadelphia with a load of tile.
The deputies' canine dog detected the presence of narcotics inside the vehicle.
During a search, authorities uncovered 53.6 kilos (118lbs) of suspected fentanyl possibly mixed with cocaine. Money was also discovered in excess of $100,000.
The sheriff said the estimated value of the drugs was $30,000.00 per kilogram. The total street value would translate to approximately $3,752,000.00.
“North Carolina has a population of 10.7 million, so this would cause death to the entire population of North Carolina 2.5 times over.” ... Hope these miscreants are never released.
They should have shot them in the side of the road and left them to rot.

Looks like the Ivy Leaguers and their Caribbeaner “presidents” are going to need a plan B.
A 22 year long war on terror alongside a 55+ year war on poverty and that once-ballyhooed war on drugs have been demonstrated to be, by the ultimate outcomes to date, a set of hoaxes, while the real war continues.
WOW! Thanks for posting.
Except it is nonsense. Those numbers are absolutely ridiculous and lack any credibility. Cops make stuff up.
K-9's name is "Groot".
And the animals running these murderous drugs should be EXECUTED ON SIGHT! .... imho
“ The deputies’ canine dog…”
Obviously using speech-to-text. I assume it’s “K-9”, not the other, unless it’s to contrast with the deputies’ feline dog……
No dogs at any of the other seven mandated stops since this poison arrived inside our borders? We have the keystone cops letting this crap happen while law at the highest level are prosecuting an innocent man.
Also...perps didn’t get far...maybe an hour out of Charlotte.
Damn, now Joe can let 27 million more into the country because as a Dictator he has a solution, of course it’s after his re-election….
Thanks to Biden and the Marxist Dems, the Nation is on elevated terrorists alert for the Holidays. Its just wonderful that Biden and Mayorkas have allowed mullions of unvetted terrorists into the Country to celebrate Christmas here.
Saw a cop show where a cop pulled over a woman, searched her car, found a cigarette pack or a pouch with drug paraphernalia in it, put her in handcuffs, put her in the cop car and was driv8ng to the station when he started to go unconscious.
The woman can be heard trying to get his attention, telling him to park the car- speak8ng to h8m to try to keep him conscious- as they were near the station by then, and he somehow managed to do so, but you could see from the camera that he was really struggling to even move his arms.
Luckily another cop saw what was happening, called for medics, and he survived-
All he did was look in the pouch that had paraphernalia in it.
Except Fentanyl can be that concentrated
In Oregon, they just let the mass murderers go free:
“The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office’s biggest-ever fentanyl bust has transformed into an embarrassing blow-up for the justice system as the alleged local leader of a drug trafficking organization walked out of jail and promptly slipped away.
Sheriff’s deputies arrested 23-year-old Luis Funez last Thursday morning during a raid of a Cully neighborhood rental home where they seized more than 52 pounds of powdered fentanyl, according to a probable cause affidavit describing charges against another man arrested in the case.”
I did a quick search to see where the Iredell Court Sheriff’s Office stood on the 287g program but had no luck. The Charlotte/Mecklenburg County Sheriff refused to abide by the 287g program.
Of course now, under Joetato, cooperating with the Feds just gets the illegal invader criminals freedom and free stuff.
Ooops...Court = County
