Chicago Bound Border Patrol Agent Arrested with 110 Pounds of Cocaine, Say Police

Arizona state police arrested a U.S. Border Patrol agent following a traffic stop where they found four suitcases with 50 bricks of cocaine. The agent said was traveling to Chicago where he was going to receive $50,000 for the trip.

Last week, Juan Pimentel went before U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce McDonald who formally charged him with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and ordered he be held without bond pending trial.

Troopers with the Arizona Department of Public Safety arrested Pimentel last Thursday following a traffic stop for a minor violation on the interstate highway known as I-10, court records obtained by Breitbart Texas revealed.

During the traffic stop, Pimentel said he was driving to Flagstaff Arizona and that he did not know who had rented the vehicle he was driving. When the trooper asked if he could search the vehicle, Pimentel identified as an agent, showed the trooper his badge and told him that he had a gun in his bag.

Here's my response to that point: Pro-drug-war "conservatives" who trumpet every drug seizure as proof that the drug war is being won, are thereby motivating the DEA to cut deals with one cartel to increase their ability to make seizures from other cartels.

I guess you have to be drug kicking and screaming to get on topic.

Replying to article text you quoted is entirely on topic.

Anything substantive to say about my response?

Remarks about prohibition weren’t on topic for this thread or my post.

the Sinaloa Cartel has been able to flood Chicago's streets with a steady stream of heroin and crystal meth primarily as well as cocaine and marijuana.

Where there is demand there will be supply - it's Prohibition all over again (although more of the profiting criminals are foreign).

Wrong and wrong.

Heh! I was thinking of ‘The Jerk’ when I wrote that.
