Twice-Deported Man Accused Of Smuggling 18,000 Rounds Of Ammo Skips Court
CowboyStateDaily ^ | 4/25/25 | Leo Wolfson

CHEYENNE — Already facing serious federal charges for allegedly carrying 18,000 rounds of ammunition through Wyoming, Ricardo Paez-Quinones, 35, dug himself into an even deeper hole on Friday.

Paez-Quinones was a no-show for his bond hearing on Friday morning in U.S. District Court, leading Judge Alan Johnson to put out a bench warrant for his arrest.

Johnson suspected that the topic of his bond was what led Paez-Quinones to avoid coming to court, leading him to engage “in some form of self-help.”

“We can receive an explanation for that at a later time,” Johnson remarked.

Paez-Quinones is an illegal immigrant from Mexico whose fingerprints match an individual already deported from America in 2012 and 2014.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Cook, of Wyoming, argued in a motion last month that Paez-Quinones’ actions indicate that he’s contributing to drug cartel operations.

How Did We Get Here? Last month, U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge Scott Klosterman set Paez-Quinones’ bond at $20,000, unsecured – meaning Paez-Quinones could get out of jail without having to post the money up front.

He was then released, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Wyoming confirmed.

The magistrate ordered Paez-Quinones, who reported a home address out of Colorado, to appear for court in Cheyenne on May 27.

Shortly after, Cook filed a motion urging the case judge to overturn the magistrate’s bond arrangement, which resulted in Paez-Quinones’ release. The prosecutor urged the judge to bring Paez-Quinones back to jail to be detained while he awaits trial.

I suspect more judges need to be investigated and arrested. How many are on the take from the cartels.

Events like this leave little doubt as to whether or not these judges and politicians are on Cartel payrolls.

I tell you, nothing gets past Judge Alan Johnson who “suspected that the topic of his bond was what led Paez-Quinones to avoid coming to court.”

The "liberal" useful idiots turned loose wolves and Grizzly bears on us (for real)

and to top it off, now the deep state insurrectionists embeded in the judiciary are releasing terrorist gangs from south of the border

This guy lives and works in CO which is ripe with cartels, especially in Pueblo where a couple Mexicans were trying to take 180,000 rounds of ammo fit for machine guns. The cartels are planning war on US soil.

This magistrate belongs in Gitmo.

Maybe the ammo was supposed to go to the gang member that was living at Judge Joel Cano’s house in New Mexico.

I don’t know if the judges are on the cartel payrolls but I think it’s more likely that they believe in the TOTALLY SICK concept that releasing a violent Illegal felon into American society somehow ‘sticks it to Trump’.

That judge who let the illegal out the back door could have let him go.

Did the judge tell him not to show?

Something fishy there.

Due to his record bond should’ve been denied. Who’s the smooth-brain who let him post bail?

He's probably living with the judge.

Anytime these illegal criminals are arrested and released with a court date, they take off andcome back under a different name. It’s been going on forever and is nothing new. They should never be released. Then deported.

Dang! He had enough time to run and hide or even return to Mexico. The judge is a waste of space.
