Joe Biden’s Presidency is wreaking havoc on the country.
He’s done more to help criminals than anyone thought was possible.
And a Florida sheriff made one arrest that revealed this catastrophic failure by Joe Biden.
Florida law enforcement takes down major fentanyl trafficking ring
President Joe Biden’s catastrophic decision to leave the southern border wide open has been a bonanza for the Mexican drug cartels.
Fentanyl, manufactured on an industrial scale from Chinese chemicals, is flooding the country with the lethal drug.
Mexican-produced fentanyl has turned up in all 50 states.
State and local enforcement were handed a massive problem from the Biden administration to tackle.
Florida is leading the country in fentanyl seizures because of aggressive action by law enforcement.
Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd’s office took down a multi-state drug trafficking operation connected to the Mexican cartels in April that resulted in enough fentanyl being confiscated to kill more than seven million people.
Now the Sunshine State has taken down another major drug trafficking operation connected to the Biden border crisis.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested 64 individuals suspected of running a fentanyl trafficking operation in Central Florida.
A three-year investigation uncovered that a bait and tackle shop and motorcycle repair shop were being used as fronts.
“In essence, this fentanyl trafficking organization was the family business,” Judd said. “The motorcycle shop and the bait shop were corrupt businesses that were used as a means for money laundering.”
“Their customers weren’t involved; they had no idea what was going on,” Judd continued. “In fact, the owners tried to project a wholesome facade while conducting their criminal enterprise behind the scenes until it all came crashing down on them, thanks to the fantastic work by our detectives.”
Enough fentanyl was confiscated in the bust to kill 371,000 people – more than the population of Orlando.
Good police work leads to drug trafficking operation falling
Sheriff’s deputies rolled up low-level dealers to begin working their way up the group’s leadership.
“We quit arresting the street-level people because it was putting heat on our ability to move up the chain of command,” Judd said. “[…] We could literally talk for a long time about all of the nuances of this case, but I think you’ve pretty well figured it out. Guns and dope equal violence and death, and why these fools can’t figure out the obvious that we all understand is a surprise to me every day.”
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is charging nine of the suspects under the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) law.
She praised the work of law enforcement in the case.
“Florida leads the nation in fentanyl seizures, and this case is yet another example of how Sheriff Grady Judd and his deputies are leaders in helping us remove deadly drugs from our streets,” Moody said. “Working with Polk County deputies and FDLE [Florida Department of Law Enforcement], we were able to seize 742 grams of fentanyl in two counties. That is enough poison to kill 371,000 Floridians, and I have no doubt that this drug interdiction operation saved lives.”
State and local law enforcement are leading in fighting the drug epidemic that Joe Biden’s open border created.
