Sisters that play together, get busted together.
Two Arizona sisters were indicted this week after officers found over 850,000 counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl inside a vehicle that they were traveling in toward Phoenix last month.
Authorities did not state what type of pills those discovered were supposed to emulate.
Kimberli Guadalupe Torres-Marin, 26, and Alexa Torres-Marin, 19, were each indicted by a Maricopa County grand jury with one count of sale or transportation of narcotic drugs, a class two felony.
The sisters, were arrested on August 24 after Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies discovered the stash in duffel bags. The bags were in the vehicle the women were traveling in towards Phoenix.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said, “We will be spearheading a free public community forum on Sept. 27 at Independence High School in Glendale, Arizona, with experts on fentanyl to help educate parents and teens on the dangers of this drug. We are hoping this will shed some light on he fentanyl crisis sweeping many local areas.”
“Fentanyl is highly addictive and can be lethal if even a small amount is ingested or smoked,” the prosecutor’s office said.
“Two out of five counterfeit pills that come across our border are laced with lethal doses of fentanyl,” Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said. “These drugs are being marketed to our youth in the most proliferous ways and are being produced in candy-like colors. We must hold those who bring these lethal pills into our community accountable.”
Since last month, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been sounding the alarm of the emerging trend of brightly colored “rainbow fentanyl” pills used by drug cartels to seemingly market the candy-like substance to children and young people.
“On Monday, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Director for the Port of Nogales, Arizona, said his officers stopped five loads totaling approximately 400,000 fentanyl pills over the weekend. Of that amount, approximately 30,000 were rainbow-colored. The loads also contained 152 pounds of methamphetamine,” he said.
Let’s rightfully lay the blame for this type of incident squarely where it belongs – at the feet of Joke Biden and the Democrat party who’ve supported and encouraged the influx of illegals through our Southern border.
Oh you’re fuckin retarded.
Only a fool would be offended by truth fool
Preach it brother..we have no border. .this is sad!!!!!!! I gotta go throw up I’m so sick with disgust at what we have become since that pedophile biden got in office what a joke r u serious liberals man our fake president can’t stand up on a bike we are a joke now to the whole world you should see other countries version of Saturday night…they make fun of us!!!!! Thanks pedophile brandon
Your a fucking idiot if you believe anything the Biden dumbasses promote.
Lol. Bothers you the libtardians have succeeded in destroying this country? A second civil war is in order perhaps? That or we turn control back to republicans and keep voting for the compromise of rights, borders, etc.
Exactly correct this is Joe Biden s America and if Patriots do not stand up to corruption it will be out downfall!
I think Mat needs to come up for air. His head has been up his own ass for far too long if he can’t figure out that BIDEN’S OPEN BORDERS policy is allowing more than just illegal aliens to enter the U.S..
Without Mat some would remain silent. . . . . Mat serves the purpose
Notice the nanes. Illegals killing our children.
WHERE WERE you “bleeding hearts ” when the Mafia and the cartels were supplyiing tthe BLACK and BROWN populated communities with drugs and illegal weapoms??
Fentanyl is totally an equal opportunity killer, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. Too bad life or death is not more important to you than virtue signaling.
Gee, I wonder where they are from? There names sound Hispanic. But wait… those pills couldn’t be from Mexico… or we’ll… anyways there are no Hispanics in Mexico. Let’s just leave the border open. What’s the worst that could happen.
Biden will Pardon them, it turns out this was all for Hunter, and his crack smoking whores.
This is a pandemic of illegal drugs killing people. Our country needs to approach this seriously and quickly. The CDC and WHO should be addressing this problem. We need a whole lot more education and prevention to combat this problem.
Until the boarder is secured, this is the crap we have to deal with. Oh wait….I forget VP Harris said our boarder is secure. What a joke. She and Biden have no clue. If you want change, VOTE RED in November. It will be a start to changes for this country. Don’t vote you have know right to complain.
Did they get them from Biden? Now the biggest drug dealer in our country!
