NASCAR star Kyle Busch sentenced to 3 years in Mexican prison for trying to take .380 pistol and hollow point shells on private plane leaving Cancún

Famed NASCAR driver Kyle Busch has been sentenced to three-and-half-years in prison for gun possession without a license in Mexico, authorities there said late last week.

It is not clear how, or if, that sentence will be assessed.

**SNIP**

According to Mexican authorities, Busch placed his luggage on the platform and x-rays took note of “a pistol-type firearm caliber. 380 with charger supplied with six hollow point cartridges” inside.

“When it was discovered, I fully cooperated with the authorities, accepted the penalties, and returned to North Carolina,” Busch’s statement continued. “Discovery of the handgun led to my detainment while the situation was resolved. I was not aware of Mexican law and had no intention of bringing a handgun into Mexico.”

On Jan. 29, the charges were presented by Mexico’s Agent of the Federal Public Ministry to what is termed a “Control judge” under an “expedited procedure,” deemed legal, and Busch was sentenced to three years and six months in prison as well as a fine of 20,748 pesos, or, roughly, $1,080, the Mexican press release said.

A Mexican legal website run by an online law firm explains that “[t]he expedited procedure is a mechanism that speeds up criminal prosecution proceedings [and] is applied in custodial sentences not exceeding 9 years or in others of a different nature.” A Mexican law review article written by a member of the judiciary says the procedure “is considered as a form of early termination, in which the defendant has agreed to be tried based on the data.”

Is he still in Mexico, or did he return to North Carolina?

From the article:

“When it was discovered, I fully cooperated with the authorities, accepted the penalties, and returned to North Carolina,” Busch’s statement continued.

Pathetic journalism, or - more likely - the news story and headline were written by a software program.

Kyle Busch was in the USA when the trial was held and the sentence was handed down.

He is not in a Mexican jail.

Do you ever notice that when we have weak Presidents, Mexico tries to mess with us?

I wonder how many Mexican killers it will take for the Biden Administration to arrange his freedom? Oh, wait! Kyle is white! Biden may just leave him there.

If he is stupid enough to return to Mexico, he just might deserve that. He’s currently in North Caorlina.

This is very confusing. Where is he now. In Mexico or NC? Would they have let him leave Mexico with a sentence pending? And if he is in the US then will he go back to serve his sentence?

Biden will trade him for El Chapo, and every other Mexican drug lord in our penal system.

“They know he has money. That’s all they want.”

Yes. Given time and money he can get the sentenced dropped.

If he so chooses.

He’s in North Carolina. As best as I can tell, he was given a promise to appear and sentenced in absence. If he ever returns to Mexico, he might then be required to serve his sentence.

Maybe Cancun will lure him with a discount weekend package.

I am pretty sure if you look in the Mexican version of the Spanish to English handbook that you will find “Mexican Years” = “US Dollars”.

[I don’t know why anybody goes to Mexico.]

Yeah. A horror story I read 30+ years ago was enough. And IIRC, it was in Cancun.

Or he thoughtlessly takes a cruise that stops in Cozumel.

They might extradite him.

Yep. .380s, .320s, and .22s are great for hunting grizzlies.

Mexico needs a reminder they have the great misfortune of being one of only two countries the USA can invade directly by land.

And if we had a citizenry 1/4 the caliber we had back in 1770’s They wouldn’t be pulling this Shit.

Why the hell did he need a “charger”. Did he have a .380 Star Trek limited edition phaser?
