Riverside Sheriff Employee Arrested Transporting 520,000 Fentanyl Pills for Cartel

What was said

"September 20th, transporting 104 pounds of fentanyl pills. Yeah. And his, his uncle— and, and we ended up talking to his mom and everything else. The mom was extremely, extremely disappointed. She knew what her family was into, but she thought she had shielded his— her kid from it."

Sheriff Bianco disclosed that his department arrested one of their own employees, a young deputy in his mid-20s, who was working with his cartel-connected uncle to transport 520,000 fentanyl pills worth potentially millions. The deputy had a clean background and was described as a 'fantastic employee,' raising questions about whether the cartel deliberately placed him in law enforcement. The case is part of a larger federal investigation.
