From Meth to Child Abuse San Diego Doesn’t Lack Diversity

From Meth to Child Abuse San Diego Doesn't Lack Diversity

Drone Used to Smuggle Meth Near San Diego

People use all sorts of means to try smuggle drugs and other things into the United States. Now a twenty-five year old United States citizen has been charged for using a drone to try to smuggle a little over thirteen pounds of meth from Mexico into the Untied States.

According to the reports, Jorge Edwin Rivera told the police that he was using the drone to smuggle the drugs five or six times since march. Rivera told them that he usually delivered them to a nearby gas station to an accomplice in San Diego. According to the report, he was reportedly going to make around $1,000.

The Border Patrol agents in San Diego said that they actually saw the drone in flight on August 8th. They then were able to track it to Rivera which was around 2,000 yards away from the Mexican border. The police say that the agents found Rivera with the meth in an actual lunch box and a two foot drone hidden in a bush. Talk about a pretty sneaky operation. But, no matter how sneaky you think you are they usually always find ya.

In a recent report from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration said that drones aren’t usually used to smuggle drugs from Mexico due to the fact that they can only carry small loads of items. However, once the word gets out this way of transportation might become more and more common.

The trend started in 2015 when two people in California pleaded guilty for dropping twenty-eight pounds of heroin from a drone.

Drone’s are pretty noisey so police think that the drug smugglers will hopefully stay away from this means off  transportation as way to smuggle things. Plus the batter life of a drone isn’t that long, which could be pretty problematic when trying to hide from the police. The small loads also means small payloads, the risk isn’t worth the reward.

Child Suffered From Severe Child Abuse in San Diego

Child abuse in any form is unforgivable. To think of someone harming a child is so mind boggling, but it happens. Daily.

Sadly, a poor child had to suffer from severe injuries day before succumbing to those injuries which included: extensive brain bleed, broken arm, and a burn to the bottom of her foot. How the heck does a toddler get this injured?

The eighteen month old little girl was named, Leah Brown-Meza. She died from the blunt force of the trauma, according to the Medical Examiner’s reports.

According to the police, the mother, Lillie Brown had reported that she woke up to find her young toddler unresponsive and then called for help.

Lillie Brown is a twenty-one year old woman and a member of the Viejas tribe. She’s now going to face her young life behind bars, with three counts of willful cruelty to a child with great bodily injury and/or death.

Lillie’s boyfriend, twenty-six year old, Kevin Foster, will also face similar charges. He will face charges of murder, assault on a child with force likely to produce great bodily harm or death. He however was ordered to be held on a $2 million bail. Guess he won’t be sneaking off anytime soon.

According to the reports, the little girl had sadly suffered from at least three different injuries. How can someone hurt that innocent child? Poor baby girl.

The autopsy showed that there were several face and scalp bruises, abrasions and extensive and acute brain bleeding in several different parts of her little brain. Pretty much a hopeless waiting game at this point for the innocent little girl.

The report also showed that she suffered from “retinal and optic nerve hemorrhages” as well as other major damage to her central nervous system. As if that wasn’t enough for the little thing, she had blunt force trauma injuries to her back and chest. She even had second degree burns on the bottom of her foot, and a broken upper arm.

Police Make Huge Cocaine Bust

Police Make Huge Cocaine Bust

U.S. Customs Seize 20 Pounds of Crack Cocaine

I’m sure U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers are no strangers to seeing crack cocaine and other narcotics on a daily basis of dealing with smugglers.

An investigation has started after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized almost twenty-pounds of cocaine. It was hidden in the inside of a cargo hold of a flight from Montego Bay, Jamaica. It arrived at Philadelphia International Airport just last week.

The Customs officers did the routine cabin sweep and a cargo inspection after the flight arrived to the Philly International Airport after 6 p.m. The officers were searching through the cargo when they spotted two drawstring backpacks, which happened to be hidden behind an access panel. The Investigators stated that each of the backpacks contained four brick-shaped objects, which was made up of a white, powdery substance. In the field test, it tested positive for cocaine.

According to the investigators, the cocaine weighed around 19 pounds, 9 ounces. They said the street value of the drug was around $600,000.

Susan Stranieri, CBP Port Director for the Area Port of Philadelphia’s statement:

Narcotics interdiction remains a CBP enforcement priority, and a mission that we take very seriously. We are pleased that these dangerous drugs will not reach our city’s streets. CBP remains vigilant at our nation’s borders, and we’ll continue to do our part to help keep our communities safe.

 

According to the investigators, there have been no arrests made at this time, however they are continuing the investigation.

 

U.S. Army Reserves Private Facing Cocaine Charges

Being in the Army is a privilege and an honor for most people that decide to take that path in life. I don’t think the Army would like their members selling drugs.

A private in the U.S. Army Reserves as well as another man, are now facing drug related charges after police seized around three million dollars worth of cocaine being shipped from Boston to New York City on Saturday.

According to Bridget G. Brennan who is New York City’s special narcotics prosecutor, Twenty-three year old, Mark Soto and twenty-four year old, Xavier Herbert-Gumbs were arraigned on Friday. The charges was for criminal possession of a controlled substance. Brennan said that bail was set at $400,000.

Soto is in the Army Reserves. Both he and Herbert-Gumbs live in Puerto Rico.

Cocaine Investigation

There is an ongoing investigation by the state and federal prosecutors have identified the pair as members of a major narcotics trafficking network. Both of the men were arrested on Thursday during a traffic stop in the Bronx.

Herbert-Gumbs had 110 pounds of cocaine in his possession at the time. The cocaine was pressed into brick shaped packages, according to the authorities. Soto was later arrested and was in possession of around twenty-six pounds of cocaine in the trunk of his vehicle. According to the prosecutors, Soto’s vehicle also had Herbert-Gumbs’ identification card stating his name and had his photograph.

According to the investigating officers, the cocaine had been transported from Boston to New York.

Soto’s attorney took their time working up a return call for a comment about the situation. The Army Reserves also took some time to reply about Soto’s assignment.

The number for Herbert-Gumbs’ attorney went unanswered the Saturday following the incident. It’s unclear what kind of work Herbert-Gumbs does for a living.

Narcotics Found Near the Border

Narcotics Found Near the Border

Drug Bust At the Border

According to the reports over 1,800 pounds of drugs were found at the Southern California Border this weekend. The drugs were worth around $3.2 million.

CBP officers found 383 pounds of Meth, 51 pounds of Cocaine, 54 pounds of heroin, and 1,340 pounds of marijuana.

According to the CBP officers who found the narcotics, the drugs were found in several locations in different vehicles. They were found in the floors of the vehicles as well as the spare tire well, bumpers, tractor-trailer, seats, and quarter panels. Pretty much anywhere you could hide anything.

Peter Flores Statement:

CBP officers face many challenges on a daily basis.  The interceptions this weekend showcase CBP’s adaptability to an ever-changing smuggling trade.

The first incident happened when an empty tractor and trailer entered the Calexico East Port of Entry.

The officer brought a canine to search the vehicle where the dog alerted them to the wall. That’s when the officers found 54 large wrapped packages of marijuana stacked inside of non factory compartment wall of the empty trailer. Probably not the smartest idea the smuggler ever had.

Phoenix Business Involved in Marijuana Bust

Phoenix is always booming. Recently deputies were busy in Maricopa when the Sheriff’s Office took part it a drug bust on a South Phoenix Business.

MCSO spokesman, Chris Hegstrom tweeted about the incident which apparently happened in the area of 40th Street and Southern Avenue at around 8:15.

The investigators reportedly raided around nine unites of the industrial building. The reports say that there were three arrests and there were hundred of marijuana plants seized.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio said that the people who were apparently growing the pot were running a legal medical marijuana business.

Sheriff Arpaio’s Statement:

This is not just a marijuana problem. It can’t avoid danger to the citizens.

Dispensary Causes Suspicion

Dispensary Causes Suspicion

Chandler’s First Medical Marijuana Dispensary

The United States is always progressing and one of the biggest conflicts is the marijuana debate. Local news was allowed to go visit the dispensary for an exclusive look inside of Chandler’s first dispensary.

According to news reports, this new facility is in place of the old Last Chance Saloon on the Arizona Avenue and Hunt Highway.

On Friday The Herbal Wellness Center will officially open. Patients were anxiously awaiting in line for the soft opening the Wednesday before the Friday opening.

In 2013 the company started their first venture into the Marijuana business. Their first location was in Phoenix.

Chandler Dispensary Opens

The officials in Chandler had tried to fight the dispensary’s opening at first, however they worked hard to come to an agreement to work out all the problems they came up with at first.

 

Joshua Huntington’s Statement who is the Assistant Manager at Herbal Wellness Center:

We are one of the first state of the art dispensaries in this area especially in Chandler all-around about 25 surrounding miles people are coming from all over.

 

The manager say that you can look at the items that they have available but you can’t buy them until the opening due to legal requirements. Who ever has an actual medical marijuana card can go ahead and get any kind of bud or pot potion that they would like.

Managers of the dispensaries say that the South Chandler location just makes sense.

According to studies, there are about 4,000 medical marijuana card holders in Chandler. That seems like a high number but that number just continues to grow statewide.

Chandler Medical Marijuana Dispensary Opens

Chandler has opened it’s very first medical marijuana dispensary. It’s debut had quite the…welcoming committee.

According to the reports, The Herbal Wellness Center was giving away free pot. They claim up to 1/8 of an ounce of marijuana. They gave a little extra as a thank you gift to every patient that made a purchase. They claimed it was part of the company’s Grand Opening celebration. Of course, the promotion worked very well. Claims have said that there has been a steady stream of medical marijuana card holders that went into the clinic.

Wellness Center Gives Away Free Pot

The owner of The Herbal Wellness Center, Rami Sweis said that he definitley saw the need to having a center in the area of the Southeast Valley. His facility is located near Arizona Avenue near Hunt Highway.

Sweis is expecting a great success, which so far it’s proven to be one. As time goes on he expects even more people to register for the medical marijuana card. He hopes his Center is convenient for the residents.

Arizona is one of the twenty-three states in the United States that actually have medical marijuana programs. It’s a bit of an “unorthodox” business, but it’s helps a lot of people. While, the businesses do provide help, marijuana is still prohibited under Federal law. Which makes it a hard honest business to get into.

It’s a Schedule I substance and distributing is of course a federal offense, even though their President has urged the federal prosecutors to not prosecute anyone who is selling medical marijuana in a state that allows it.

Business

Which it makes the business start up even harder. Because a lot of banks actually refuse to work with the dispensaries because they fear a federal crackdown, which they should. The dispensaries do not accept credit cards for this reason so they can only do the transactions in cash only. Which makes it hard on some of their customers. A lot of people do not carry cash on them any more. It’s so much easier to keep a debit or credit card on hand.

The Herbal Wellness Center has a great set up and tries to be as secure as possible. They have security guards at the door for extra protection. There’s also a number of security cameras which covers almost every corner of the facility.

They have great hopes for the facilities at Chandler and the other one which is located at 40th Avenue and Indian School which is in Phoenix.

The center hopes to employee around two hundred people before the end of the year.  This place is helping people and creating jobs, what else could you want from a brand new business?

Criminal Defense Cases

Whatever the specific controlled substance and quantity involved, and whether you were arrested by local police, the Arizona Highway Patrol or federal agents, any drug transportation or drug trafficking allegation is gravely serious. You likely know that you could face decades or even life in prison, and that your choice of a defense attorney is pivotal.

Phoenix Narcotics

Border Patrol Finds Narcotics

Sadly, drug crimes are on the rise. Times are getting desperate and it seems like people will do anything even resort to trafficking drugs.

According to reports a woman was recently arrested when U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found 235 pounds of marijuana in her truck. The woman was twenty-eight years old and a Mexican national. She tried to smuggle the marijuana into the United States through the Raul Hector Catro Port of Entry.

After the officers made the arrest a second inspection of the truck, a narcotics detection canine helped the officers find around $119,000 worth or marijuana hidden throughout her vehicle. Pretty big bust.

The officers seized the marijuana as well as the truck and then arrested the woman for narcotics smuggling. She was then turned over to the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.

CEO Arrested for Narcotics

Being an owner of a company of something that would help people would be a hard thing. Especially if that thing is somewhat illegal.

The billionaire owner of Insys Therapeutics was recently arrested and charged for leading a nationwide conspiracy “to use bribes and fraud to cause the illegal distribution of Fentanyl spray intended for cancer patients”.

Wow. Pretty serious allegations. Seventy-four year old, Dr. John N. Kapoor of Phoenix Arizona is the founder and former CEO of Insys. He is now going to face federal charges as well as fined for many many things.

The prosecutors are claiming that the company paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to doctors in exchange for prescribing spray called “Subsys” which contained a very addictive synthetic opioid fentanyl. Three of the top three prescribers have already been convicted of taking bribes from Insys.

Narcotics Company in Big Trouble

One of Kapoor’s ex employee’s calls him a genius but evil man. She’s glad the victim’s are getting justice for his crimes. She evens says that if called to testify against Kapoor that she most certainly will.

According to studies, Subsys is 100 times more strong than morphine so that’s pretty hard to believe. It was approved by the FDA to treat patients with cancer and those with “breakthrough” pain.

Nixon, Kapoor’s ex-employee, said that it was her job to make sure that Subsys got into the hands of as many patients as possible. No matter if they had cancer or not.

Nixon’s Statement:

My job responsibilities were to contact insurance companies on behalf of the patients and the doctors to get the medication approved and paid for by their insurance company.

According to Nixon Subsys isn’t cheap. A thirty day supply can cost anywhere between $3,000 to $30,000. It pretty much just depends on what insurers will pay for it. That’s what Nixon’s job was, to trick the insurance company’s into thinking that the drug was “medically necessary”. Which if you have cancer and are in severe pain, I’m sure it is.

Nixon’s Statement:

I would say, ‘Hi, this is Patty. I’m calling from Dr. Smith’s office. I’m calling to request prior authorization for a medication called Subsys. it was a complete bold-faced lie.

According to Nixon, Sarah Fuller was one of the victim patients that was prescribed Subsys even though she didn’t have cancer.

However she did have chronic neck and back pain from being involved in two car accident. Sarah’s addiction didn’t take long. Within a month her prescription was tripled. 14 months later she was found dead on her bedroom floor.

Fentanyl technically killed her though.

Sadly, Fuller is not alone.

Insys denied any responsibility in Sarah’s death. They also claimed that they shouldn’t be blamed for how the doctor’s prescribe their products. As of right now the corporation isn’t facing criminal charges. It’s also still selling Subsys.

Phoenix Medical Marijuana Advancements and Findings

Phoenix Medical Marijuana Advancements and Findings

Medical Marijuana Industry Booming

Marijuana, medical or recreational isn’t something that is going away anytime soon. So all those people who hate it, might as well jump on the economic wagon and embrace it. Not saying you have to smoke pot but at least let those who want to be allowed to. However, let’s try to do it in the privacy of their own homes, not in the middle of a playground or hotel where families often frequent. Having a kid it’s hard enough to keep them from harmful thing and let them keep their innocence as long as possible, so please as a user of whatever, do it in a responsible way and in the privacy of your own home.

The marijuana industry is growing and as everyday passes more states are getting on board to embracing the economic growth that the marijuana industry brings.

In fact, one company agrees with it so much they hope to make a tourist spot. The company is an Arizona based company and they hope to create a different type of tourism, they have such high hopes that they bought an entire town for their venture.

American Green bought a city in hopes to create a pot based tourist destination.

Statement from the Marijuana Company:

first energy-independent, cannabis-friendly hospitality destination.

The company hopes that they can build more shops and restaurants in the little town and even open a dispensary.

Dish Network Van Carries Marijuana Inside

A Dish Network van isn’t something that you would think that would harbor drugs, however anyone can buy a van and put decals on it.

According to reports, the van was inspected by a canine unit at the Ajo Border Patrol Station. There they found around $199,000 worth of marijuana inside. Which I’m not a pot expert but that seems like it would be a heck of a lot of drugs.

After the canine found the drugs the driver was arrested for “narcotics smuggling”. The van and 396 pounds of marijuana was seized by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
