In what federal officials are calling the largest methamphetamine seizure in Colorado history, a grand jury has indicted 15 individuals – one of whom is accused of leading a drug trafficking organization and now faces a rare “drug kingpin” charge.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado announced the results of a massive drug bust involving federal wiretaps, extensive surveillance, and undercover operations that led federal officials to seize over 1,000 pounds of methamphetamine.
Fifteen people were indicted in connection with the operation: Marco Antonio De Silva Lara, Sergio Ivan Arce Lopez, Juan Luis Cabrera Saucedo, Luis Enrique Lopez Lopez, Rigoberto Aranda, Erik Alejandro Benitez Chavez, Robert Shane Gerstner, Joseph Ricardo Menzor, William Joseph Rollins, Brittney Pierce, Francisco Javier Armenta Barraza, Jamie Cash Hoover, Cesar Andres Huizar Guerra, and Trenton Anthony Thompson.
All fifteen are facing federal drug charges, which carry a potential sentence of ten years up to life in prison. Four of the defendants were also charged with money laundering, while one (Marco Antonio De Silva Lara) is also charged with operating a continuing criminal enterprise, commonly known as the "drug kingpin" charge.

Habla ingles, vato?
I do like to post pictures of the perps, but find none handy.
If anyone can locate and post, please ping me.
“First fentanyl. Now this.”
yep ... and keep in mind that NOTHING like ANY of this occurred during the biden administration ... Fed LEOs too busy sniffing Melania’s underwear and generating fake cases to try to take down Trump with impeachments and other fake Federal cases ...
It’s Colorado. They’re probably listed as white.
What’s a user gonna do?
Well, maybe not all of them:
Robert Shane Gerstner,... William Joseph Rollins, Brittney Pierce,... Jamie Cash Hoover..., and Trenton Anthony Thompson.
So, apparently only 11 of the 15 are in federal custody and 4 remain in Mexico.
Looks like the Mexico City phone book.
Yeah. Diversity, aint it grand?
And is one guy really named Lopez Lopez or is that a typo? 😆
It started with Pot in Colorado.
Same with Oregon.
If the boaters carrying drugs to America were blown up, what should happen to 15 people with 1,000 pounds of meth?
Inject it all at once into them.
Problem solved. No recidivism.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Put them all on a speedboat and give them a 60 second head start.
Mountain high, Colorado.
