Puerto Rican Drug Bust
CNN reports, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Caribbean Division along with the Justice Department, 158 arrests were made in conjuction with the largest drug and illegal weapons bust in Puerto Rican history. 500 agents and local officals worked to secure the apprehension of drug ring leaders, runners, suppliers and sellers. This operation will rid the west coast in the small Caribbean Island of the most hard core and major drug traffickers in Puerto Rico.
The defendants were charged with the attempt to distribute and sell marijuana, crack, cocaine, heroin, as well as, the possession of firearms. If convicted the defendants could spend up to life in prison and pay fines up to $4 million dollars. Most of the arrest were made near public housing complexes located near schools and sports facilites. The area of the arrests is where a major sporting event would be taking place where as many as 300,000 spectators would be in attendance.
