187 Pounds of Fentanyl Worth $4.3 Million Seized by CBP Near Gila Bend, Arizona

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested two U.S. citizens and seized 340 packages of fentanyl pills near Gila Bend, Arizona, early Wednesday evening.

Tucson Sector Agents discovered the narcotics around 6 p.m. while conducting a vehicle stop on a white Chevy Equinox heading eastbound that had exited Interstate 8 at mile marker 115. During the stop, agents observed several black duffel bags in the vehicle’s rear cargo area and the female driver was noticeably nervous as she was questioned.

After receiving her consent to search the vehicle, agents found three bags containing packages wrapped in black tape and cellophane as well as coated in axle grease, a technique often used to mask the scent of drugs. Further investigation revealed 340 packages of fentanyl pills weighing a grand total of 187 pounds and worth an estimated $4.3 million.

The case was turned over to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Both the driver and her female passenger face prosecution for drug charges. “I am grateful for the incredible work by Border Patrol agents to keep drugs off our streets,” said Sheriff Paul Penzone. “Their efforts will save lives and promote safety.”

Fentanyl seizures are a top priority, given the drug’s extreme danger to communities. During a recent suspected smuggling event, Tucson Sector agents administered naloxone to a man displaying signs of an overdose. Fentanyl is generally considered lethal at just 2 milligrams. There was enough fentanyl pills to potentially kill 42,410,900 people, according to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.

      Most of the mules don't meet the higher ups. She most likely doesn't have any valuable information to give.
      She will be going to prison, and if she and her passenger aren't U.S. citizens and are deported, they most likely will be disappeared when they return to Mexico.

    2. Apparently they are U.S. citizens, so there is hope for their survival, but it isn't guaranteed.

  9. Chairman XI laughs at the feeble attempt to win his asymmetrical war by destabilizing America by flooding the country with highly addictive drugs! The new normal is a disaster compared to even 3 years ago!. The America of 20 or even 10 years ago is long gone!

  10. Sammy the Bull must have turned out CDS. After snitching on Gotti and doing his 5yrs he was released from the FEDS and relocated to Phoenix. If I remember correctly he started moving synthetics and again got busted. Once a snitch always a snitch?
