Two drug traffickers in California who were arrested last week for being in possession of 150,000 fentanyl pills β€” enough to kill millions of people β€” were released back onto the streets, officials said.

Jose Zendejas, 25, and Benito Madrigal, 19, both from Washington, were arrested during a traffic stop-turned-drug bust in Tulare on Friday. They were booked into the Tulare County Pre-Trial Facility on charges of possession, transportation and selling of illegal drugs, officials said.

Some one slipped the drugs into their kit without them knowing?

And after releasing the two criminals, California authorities probably apologized to them for interrupting their fentanyl SUPPLY CHAIN.

Why bother to arrest people who are let go?

May as well just confiscate the drugs and tell the perps to have a nice day.

The release on recognizance for that quantity of drugs, particularly if the defendants have no connection to Tulare County, makes me wonder if the traffic stop interrupted a controlled delivery by the defendants, acting on behalf of law enforcement, to a distributor. I think there is more to this story.

Yeah - sounds like a protected shipment. Election coming up, and big players can’t have their campaign cash interrupted.

I wonder if the same amount of Fentanyl was discovered dumped in one of their reservoirs, they’d actually give a damn.

Yeah, I know. /s

I would have been very happy to have forced them to ingest at least 10 pills each——

I’d have them swinging from the gallows this morning. Do that enough and you have a powerful object lesson.

Us99 in CA is notorious for tight traffic enforcement.
