With this much Meth, there is no telling how many lives were saved. Good job to authorities and hopefully they follow up with deportation after the sentence. https://www.click2houston.com/news/...ium=social&utm_campaign=snd&utm_content=kprc2 HOUSTON – A Mexican citizen is facing 30 years in federal prison for running a meth trafficking ring in Houston, according to the Department of Justice. U.S. District Judge David Hittner sentenced Custodio Carrasco-Garcia, also known as Ariel, on Wednesday for his involvement in a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a large amount of meth. He pleaded guilty on Feb. 21. Since he was illegally residing in Houston, Carrasco-Garcia is expected to face removal proceedings following the sentence, according to U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick of the Southern District of Texas. Investigators revealed at the hearing that Carrasco-Garcia was the head of a drug trafficking organization with providers in Mexico and participated in operating a stash house. He possessed 30,000 kilograms of narcotics, including meth and cocaine. In March 2018, authorities conducted an undercover sting to purchase meth from a suspected narcotics distributor, later identified as Carrasco-Garcia. A month later, officials said he conducted another drug transaction, involving a kilogram of crystal meth. He made $53,000 in the exchange. Officials noted that they observed Carrasco-Garcia make at least one other drug exchange, before conducting another undercover operation in May 2019. In this transaction, Carrasco-Garcia sold 155.9 kilograms of crystal meth. I guess custodio is is gonna be in custody for a while.
30,000 KG of narcotics? Since the death penalty aint going anywhere, might as well use it in this case. Man has too much money to be parked in jail.
I suppose someone could start the argument that if he gets deported, he’ll be back a month later doing the same **** all over again.
