Law enforcement seized 114 pounds of fentanyl after a Colorado highway stop earlier this year – enough, the DEA says, to kill 25 million Americans. A DEA agent struck a deal with the driver to lead them to the dealers, according to the state arrest affidavit. He then ditched his tracking device, the DEA and vanished.

#NBCNews #DEA #fentanyl
GTFOH!! Stop believing the new! Full of lies and propaganda. Escape! Yeah right!
Oh, he DEAd, for sure.
ITS THE CIA
Smells fishy
Yea right inside job
biden wants to keep the southern border wide open, those drugs can’t smuggle themselves
Supposedly there are an average of 300 fentanyl overdose deaths daily in the United States. And everyone says, “oh, that’s bad.” Let’s try to put that in perspective. Suppose we had fifteen Uvalde school shootings a day…every day… and we knew who was supplying the weapons and ammunition and where the shooters were coming from. Suppose a US Infantry battalion was murdered, totally…every day, day after day…and we knew who was doing it. Suppose every day two US passenger jets were shot out of the sky and we knew who was supplying the missiles and where they were located. Next Monday is Columbus Day, October 10th. Suppose everyone takes the weekend off and on Monday we turn on the television or fire up our computers or open our newspapers…and the headline was “Every Congressperson and Senator of the United States along with 65 Congressional Aides Poisoned since Friday!” Don’t respond with some cynical joke about politicians, or reply that soldiers are paid to die or make a sick comment about school kids. Think. 300 people every day. Put it all in one medium sized suburb of Chicago. In one year the Chicago suburb of Woodridge, IL would cease to exist. And all of the deaths aren’t of drug abusers. A significant number of the deaths are of people who took a prescribed pill for a common ailment, so don’t brush it off as the deaths of addicts. And that doesn’t count the number of people murdered by the suppliers just to get the drugs into the country.
And we know where the poison is coming from and how it’s getting into the country…and what are we doing?
We will never stop the drugs but in other hand we can affect the users.,…… Stop giving people we don’t know money. you won’t pick up a hitchhiker but you’ll give someone you don’t know money…….
Hahahaha Hahahaha they tried flipping him. He shows back up after a bust lol….he’s a dead man. He’s gone bro. Ya’ll need to read up on Mexican drug cartels. They aren’t stupid!!!
🧢 😂 They trying to make it seem like he got away so he don’t get killed by his people most likely he’s already dead even if he’s not snitching he might snitch can’t take that chance
Ever notice,every main interstate is a main drug route in the u.s.?
From I-5 out west to I-40,to I-95 on the East coast from Miami to New York. And whatever is In the midwest.
Yup. Easiest way of transportation, same with human trafficking.
If your state has interstates that CROSS its even worse.
A example is like Atlanta, it’s such a huge hub cause you can get to about 13 interstates from the 1 city!!
Birmingham Alabama is horrible too, lots a guns n dope coming through!!!
They don’t have no Kensington & Alagany doe
He’s dead either way. He probably cries himself to sleep every night knowing that.
They never let Niccas go. Serves them right DUMB AZZS
B.S.
Deal now with the cartels. You share a country name
They killed so menny people that’s the death penalty forsho
how can we never had the same happening with Heroin in the USA? , shows again and again that Heroin is a Military Untouchable Business
They let Trumpf get a way so no surprise there. YOU GET THE SUSPECT to lead you to the others AFTER an arrest and interrogation at the station house.
Maybe Darwinism will prevail and Esse will TOUCH one of those pills.
I don’t do drugs WELL NOT BE KILLING ME✌🏽✌🏽
“Escape”? Y’all let him drive away = You’re free to go. 🤦♀️
👌🤣😂🍻😝🤩👏🦅
Smart people don’t do drugs.
I wonder what and when is the end game of drugs
Pomeranian, I said over and over again, we will never win a war on drugs and crime.
Typical western law enforcement 🙄
Stop being so proud of the stupid seizures and start fixing the root causes.
Is anyone dumb enough to think we can arrest people until the drugs go away?
If that were true, the War On Drugs would have won 50 years ago.
They don’t really care about him they got what they want drugs just to put it right back on the streets for money in they pockets
Smells like corruption
This is number one B.S..
Ahh, the “war” on drugs.
Mexicans
👑
Recognizing Hispanic culture: cartel gangster paradise indoctrination.
Fed 🕴️
Man, I miss the days when people were just addicted to heroin like a normal person. This fenty crisis is straight up chemical warfare imported from China [edit] and Mexico. Which is a sneaky clever act of chemical warfare.
china sticking it to US
@Cassie Casiano in my opinion, one kills you slower and one kills you faster.
@Hella bandz 100%. I lost my life long friend to fentanyl 3 years ago feb 1. I’d so much rather him here on heroin than him not here at all. But I think anyone that loves an addict learn to accept horrible things to avoid the worst thing. Ugh. It’s here to stay now. for every one person that dies five replace them. How do we fix it? I haven’t seen any approach compelling enough for me to say “that’s it that’s the answer.”
>.> stooped mfrs
lol they were tipped off like always…………………….
He slipped away huh that’s because he works for the government a fellow agent confidential informant gtfoh
If Fentanyl is the DEA’s “top priority;” why is undeadly Cannabis listed as a Schedule One substance with “no known medical application,” while Fentanyl has a less restrictive classification? Heroin and pot the top the List of illicit drugs. Why do the Fed LEO and GOP continue to resist common sense?
Better find that 🦴head,,,
Round up the drug mule,,,
😳
the cartels have American law enforcement on the take. Cartels plant people within law enforcement.
This is on Biden and the Dems. When the dems going to close the southern border
You for sure was dropped as a child 👶
Shout out to Ashley babbitt for going over a year without being shot and without trespassing good job girl 😂
That’s what’s up
Next door neighbors are a mess.! 😡😡😡
Legalize it. Truth.
The state believed in him and so do the people he could have hurt with those drugs, I hope he just disconnects from his bad friends and start living a life that would make his mother proud.
God help us all that such dangers have come near our home!
They let him go on purpose they are all crooked the D.e.a And FBI this has to stop
Biden is knowingly helping the cartels and killing Americans with his open border policies.
IDIOTS -SHOULD LOSE THEIR JOBS FOR BEING THAT STUPID- MALDONADO IS GOING TO BE HUNTED DOWN BY HIS BOSS.
So did he get away with the drugs too?
Bec the current DEA agents are stupid??? We can’t be having this. Now i get why there’s a drug epidemic.
he wilo be dead bh now
This dudes a dead man walking. If he stays on the run DEA or cartel is gonna get him. If DEA gets him and he gets locked up… cartel is still gonna get him. He’s a walking time bomb and in his position now I can’t imagine what he’d have to lose by going down guns blazing. The the most dangerous kind of person to deal with. He has nothing left to lose and just savoring his last bit of time no doubt.
bidens opened the boarder welcoming anyone that wants to be here..I see the connection.
Well if its not Covid 19
It’s fentanyl ?
Dialogue straight out of a Hollywood movie
Drug dealer ain’t the one too blame
😂 the doctors are
bring it to democrat citizens
Welcome to JOE BIDEN’S America folks.
From China….To our Southern Border… to a City near you… Thanks Joe Biden!
Wow 👌 👏
25 million ?! Lol hahaha oh wow they are just making up numbers now huh
People know these drugs are a death sentence, so let them get it. Increase supply will decrease demand causing a drug recession
20 years ago Marijuana was deadly and now the public doesn’t seem to enthusiastic to help.
Duh
They bust that very lil bit of dope while trailer after trailer makes it across us borders daily
Fentanyl kills way more people every year in America itself than those who’ve been killed in nuclear disasters (including Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl, etc).
Let that just sink in.
Stop being so soft 🤣. Get the answers from the guy. Stop protecting criminals. Treat them the way they deserve to be treated
Modern day Houdini just vanished like a fart in the wind. Someone needs to be fired and prosecuted.
Is this corruption, along with the intent of downsizing population. Besides there’s a more dangerous drug out there it is called benzo. I quote we are not being lied to, they’re just not telling the truth. It is better for the power structure to have people chasing a dope bag, then a revolution. Don’t care one way or the other, I just want my playtime!
If they would just legalize all drugs the war will be over! But then these losers will need to do real work and the privatized prison slavery ring will lose money. FYI DEA, very few are believing your BS anymore. You are useless and unnecessary!
Trust me a mule that dumb you want transporting this stuff
They let him go
Who’s slicker than the DEA? Philadelphia USA
The Philly express..Acetic anhydride shipped to Mexico and drugs shipped back. But ya blame China. What a sick joke.
The police are incompetent when they can’t lie ,cheat and steal
He Surely Didn’t Want To Go To Prison He Shouldn’t Been Trusted He’s A Drug Dealer
So He Fled To Probably Another Country
DEA will catch up with him later.. still good catch on capturing this fentanyl!! Still a victory when you can prevent any fentanyl from hitting the streets!❤❤

Repent to Jesus Christ “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
Colossians 3:16 NIV
h
I’d say he had political connections and they “let him slip away”. Lots of campaign contributions come from drug dealers. $$$$$
Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Well, he’s going to end up dead if he gets caught by the people who wanted him to deliver that load. And the news said they made him an offer to corroperate, I don’t know whose going to get him first, good guys or bad guys.
Contact 👆👆
3 MONTHS?
3 months In wind??
If you would like to believe this is an accident, that they “lost” the driver, then believe all the rest of the lies the mafia alphabet agencys tell us, then it just goes to show & explain WHY we see the same stories, the same excuses, the same justifications over & over again. This stopped being a government that truly cared about its citizens a long time ago ~
Sounds fishy 🐟🐠
Very suspicious. Corruption.
I in my immediate family
Stop saying that these people are dying of Overdose they are being poisoned by China this is open Warfare open response and attacks due to the Past Opium Wars inflicted on the people of China by the US government.
The Feds are all incompetent morons.
That’s ok, this way next time they can find even MORE! (I’m being sarcastic)
Wow…this could be the most stupid thing I have ever seen,why would they lose such a horrific drug 💯🙏
Thank you. This was so educational, I’m in Australia and it’s becoming a huge problem over here as well. I watch another youtube channel too called ‘The Life Boat’ that really focuses on educating people on drugs and living happily in sobriety. Recently they have had a lot of shows about Fentanyl. They have a live stream at 5pm (Pacific Time) everyday except Wednesday and Thursday and you can call in live to talk about your experiences and ask the hosts questions. They are extremely knowledgable, helpful with no judgement and I know for a fact they have already saved quite a few lives. It’s just a loving, friendly place to go, regardless of what is happening in your life and love helping people.
Your channel and other ones like this are really needed to educate people about this horrific, growing nightmare .. so many people are dying. Thank you again for your video. Please be safe everyone.
👆👆👆
The guy is as good as dead for losing that much dope. His family is likely in peril as well.
The DEA has been infiltrated by Russia and China.
What my old boss say I Tricked ya 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“SLIPPED”??? AWAY?!?! Oooookay…Sure 👌 [that’s not how those things work…but keep on telling the story] only stupid people will buy that blatant lie.
He gat the best 🍄💨👆👆
