Major Meth Bust: £ 900 confiscated in Minnesota | Crime & dishes

St. Paul, Minn. – Two men were arrested in one of the largest drug busts in the history of Minnesota.

Joel Casas-Santiago (46) and Guillermo Mercado-Chaparro, 44, is charged with conspiracy for the distribution of methamphetamine, with Mercado-Chaparro also being charged by an remote alien due to illegal re-entry.

The incumbent US lawyer Joseph H. Thompson says that the police arrested the two men after a hidden official bought a pound of Mercado-Chaparro. According to the authorities, they later discovered Mercado-Chaparro to lead alleged drug deals in South Minneapolis in a Toyota Tacoma truck all over south-minded. A subsequent search supposedly revealed more than 250 pounds meth in garbage bags and a cooler in a jeep wrangler after a drug dog was positively attentive.

Further investigations caused the police to find more than £ 630 in the Tacoma truck bed. The total fitting was almost £ 900 methamphetamine.

“This is not just another drug bust – it is one of the largest methamphetamine fits in the history of Minnesota,” said Joseph H. Thompson, the reigning lawyer of the United States. “A 900 pound transport like this not only shows the intention of distributing. It shows the intention of poisoning entire communities. We will not make Minnesota a sales center for cartel scales. This law enforcement is only the beginning.”

This is the result of an investigation that was carried out by the drug authority administration, the investigation for home protection, the Bundesburo of Investigations, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Cortion, the Ramsey County Crime Enforcement Team, the St. Paul Police Department, the Central Minnesota violent Task Force, and the Minneapolis police department.
