Illegal Immigrant Drug Bust Part 10
Posted by Dave under Borders & Security , Crime & Justice , Georgia PeachesAccording to the Associated Press, $4 million worth of cocaine was seized from a Mexican national during a traffic stop in Forsyth County, Georgia.
[Forsyth County Sheriff Ted] Paxton said Patrol Deputy Lawrence Tanner spotted a light extended cab pick-up truck making an illegal lane change on Buford Highway at Highway 400.
Tanner noticed the driver was a Mexican national with a Mexican driver’s permit in a locally registered vehicle and in the vehicle were several suitcases in plain view.
When searched, deputies found they held 60-kilo packages of cocaine.
“In our terms it turns out to be 132 pounds, that’s 132 pounds of cocaine, and in and of itself is the largest seizure of cocaine in Forsyth County,” Paxton said.
Deputy Tanner charged 45-year-old Justo Alberto Lazano-Schadtler of Mission San Carlos, Mexico with failure to maintain a lane, but he is in jail without bond for trafficking in cocaine.

So is he delivering the drugs Americans won’t deliver, or changing the lanes Americans won’t change?
I really can’t blame him one bit. If I was a Mexican drug dealer, I’d say now’s the time. You couldn’t say a word against me, if you did I’d just say I’m a hard-working day laborer trying to provide for my family, and you’re a racist for muttering so much as one unkind word in my direction.
It’s a foolproof plan, and I’d be nuts to not follow it, by which I mean to the letter. It’s an opportunity unprecedented in drug-dealer history. America. What a country!
