16 suspects have been indicted on 116 felony charges, most of which are drug-related, following a 9-month-long investigation by the West Metro Drug Task Force. In its infancy, this investigation began as a drug distribution case involving methamphetamine and counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl.
Investigators were able to use a wiretap and undercover work to develop information on illegal narcotics transactions and other criminal behavior. 10 of the suspects have been arrested so far.
"Once we started to get a better idea of the size and quantities we were seizing and our ability to 'buy' (drugs) to make an arrest, that was a good indicator that this was a very important case." Marc Snowden of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said at a news conference.

Chapiza cells runs denver
ReplyDeleteNo cartel runs anything on this side of the border .
DeleteYea in the USA pretty mich any cartel can move as they wish anywhere, you only see gangs controlling barrios or such, but you have all cartels doing their thing in every state and big city 🤷🏼♂️ cant shoot it out like in mexico, or snitch for that matter, actually you can snitch 🤔, CDS might have the upper hand than
DeleteActually La Linea runs denver bro
DeleteSinaloa controls much of Oklahoma, Illinois, and parts of California. In Cali they only control parts that are not controlled by street gangs. In those parts the dope is shipped to local distributors and from there it's either the eme or norteños, through street gangs, controling neighborhoods just like "plazas" in Mexico.
DeleteI live in Denver, no one runs Denver it's a free for all market out here. There's Michoacanos, Jaliscienses, mostly Sinaloenses, and Chihuahuenses. There's no gangs that control whole neighborhoods over here. Anyone can sell in any part of town without any troubles.
DeleteDifferent sections of Denver are run by different gangs. Hispanic gangs in some sections control the drug flow and black tre tre crips control other sections.
DeleteAlot of car jackings going on in denver go to la linea in chihuahua. But other then that the drug trade is ran by all here in the 303
DeleteWilson looks like from a Wes Craven movie or escapee from Dr Moreau's Island.
DeleteUgly SOBs
ReplyDeleteYou don't gotta be Sherlock Holmes to devine at a glance that this rogue's gallery of nitwits and ne'er-do-wells are guilty, don't matter what the charges are..
ReplyDeleteMaybe the female in the top row looks somewhat normal, and at age 26, still has a slight window of opportunity to get rehabilitated, but really sorta looks like the dregs of Denver on display here..
You don't make the headlines being a homeless scumbag selling $5 bags, so I guess I should grant them that they had some kinda hustle and money-making gig going on..
Almost famous..
Some of 'em look like their own best customers, these arrests will offer ample opportunity to catch up on their sleep and dream about making bail..
Dude bottom row, second from the right, tattoo on his neck, is that a kitty-cat, a tecolote, or wtf is that?
🦎
The tattoo is an owl. Look at the guy at the top left. Looks like he ate the stash when the cops came in.
Delete😆😆🤣🤣🤣
DeleteVergass ya valio shet el ovidio ..le negaron su amparo contra la extradition al gabacho segun mis fuentes de information
ReplyDeleteWhere's the standard "conspiracy" charge? Incomplete report.
ReplyDeleteConspiracy
DeleteThese look like state charges and not federal charges . I was thinking the same thing at first until I read through them . Conspiracy and distribution charges over 500 grams or more is what I was expecting to see
DeleteBad hombres
ReplyDeleteYeah like in Greeley this one clique was going around saying they controlled everything LOLOLO, but none of those fuc-s control shi- ......
ReplyDeleteIdiots like that were banging it out with AK and pistols in an apartment complex parking lot a few months ago most were juveniles from Greeley
DeleteBig immigration bust in Greeley, CO at a slaughterhouse…. At some point human smugglers from whichever cartel are moving immigrants in and out of Greeley.
