This is an appropriate time for a reminder that stories of police officers overdosing on fentanyl from incidental skin contact are dangerous sensationalism. As Trooper Chris Goodman unintentionally demonstrates in this video, fentanyl is not rapidly absorbed through skin. Even fentanyl that has been chemically engineered for transdermal delivery cannot rapidly deliver a large dose. According to a joint position paper by the American College of Medical Toxicology and the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology, if you covered your palms with fentanyl patches, it would take about 14 minutes to receive 100 micrograms of fentanyl, a common dose prescribed to adult patients for pain relief. Per the position paper: "To date, we have not seen reports of emergency responders developing signs or symptoms consistent with opioid toxicity from incidental contact with opioids." Zero cases. None. There is, however, a theme in the stories that have made the rounds of social media: the officer received heroic doses of Narcan with minimal to no effect. Narcan not working is then misinterpreted as a sign of just how strong the fentanyl must be… ignoring the reality that standard reversal agents - like Narcan - are effective against fentanyl and fentanyl analogues. The reason Narcan didn’t have any effect is that it’s not a treatment for panic attacks. Even carfentanil - used to tranquilize elephants - is not immune to normal doses of reversal agents. In 2010 the first case report of human carfentanil poisoning was presented in the literature. A 42-year old veterinarian was splashed in the eyes and mouth with a dart containing 1.5 mg(!) carfentanil citrate and 50 mg xylazine hydrochloride, intended for the sedation of elk. Onset of drowsiness occurred within 2 minutes... and the vet fully recovered after receiving 100 mg of oral naltrexone. Standard PPE and precautions adequately protect first responders from incidental workplace exposure. There have been no known cases of overdose from incidental skin contact. The myth that it does is dangerous, as it prevents people from receiving immediate necessary care.
At 8m hes searching the car by himself with 4 guys 20' away-- never never never! This trooper Is is fortunate they just stood there his life was in their hands.
@@calvinhutton4155 I thought the same thing at first, but he had a ride-along with him in civilian clothes who he said was an officer. He was the one in the blue dress shirt and khakis and was watching his 6 the whole time during the search. You can see him talking to another trooper at 27:33 and helping with the spare tire at 32:30.
Man he went for that spare tire really quick it's like he knew. It's like the cartel called in so they could waste their time on that car while the big load drove by
There are only so many places you can hide things in your car. Everyone who traffics drugs in cars use the same places. A hollowed out seat, the panels in the back where jacks and emergency road kits, the spare tire, the bumpers, door panels, etc. Spare tire is the most common, at least in my town, according to one of ny friends who is a town cop.
@@Delicate_Disaster I think you believe what you've been told. Lots more places to hide things. You'll hide it where they can find it because that's what you've been told.
From all of the videos I’ve seen I’m so surprised that they speak so much with police.. it’s a traffic stop. Put the fries in the bag & keep it moving.
Highway patrol is by far the most active type of law enforcement for drugs, other than the DEA. They know the routes and red flags, such as 3 Mexican men driving through Arkansas with California tags. They were either small time dealers or a decoy. People thing the trucks transport them, and they often do, but the more common way is sending out 10 cars at the same time. This way even if one gets caught, 90% of your product made it through so you're good. That's another reason they tend not to use trucks anybody. You don't wanna get busted and lose all you product. And you're right, they're purposely quiet cause it makes the suspects nervous and feel like they have to talk to fill the uncomfortable silence.
I have 0 respect for people who help bring fentanyl considering what a killer it is. This stop saved so many lives and he deserves whatever he’s gonna get
You think this stop saved lives? Get real. Every addict did the same amount of dope the next day. It did nothing. You're focusing all your anger on this guy as if he's the face of the opiate epidemic when the truth is the government is to blame. They help bring in the drugs to increase arrests, thus justifying increased police funding through taxpayer dollars. This guy is just a pawn nothing more.
I want to know what this trooper put on his application. “I’m a Spanish speaking bloodhound from Arkansas with a huge gut full of instinct and the politeness of grandma at church”. This trooper is the real deal. The other officer was probably thinking how the F did he know all of this.
First off they had no hotel for their destination first red flag. Second the buddy had 2 different burner phones. Pretty simple details but those r keybsymbols
All it took was seeing California plates and 3 Mexicans and he said hmmmmm🤔 I think they just crossed the white line, I think I’ll pull them over and see what drugs they’re transporting...
Takes balls to do that when you know youre fuckin up a decent amount of money for someone and also going to send someone to the pen in the same instance
It blows my mind how many people have crazy amount of drugs in their car and get stopped for running a light or speeding you better put that shit on cruise control
@IRHanley that is true and with hard drugs I could completely understand but some things like marijuana I don't get it I'm a lot more cautious after smoking a bowl then I am sober lol
Im a recovering addict, so seeing stuff like this makes me so grateful to be in recovery. It also makes me sad for all the addicts active in addiction, it really is hell on earth. I hope we can get addiction rates down, but with the way the US healthcare system works, i highly doubt that will happen
I am so sorry. I am aware. Very very very aware. I am working on it. I walk the line to work on these issues. I cant put my team in harms way - so it's very difficult to do what we are doing. By hook or crook we are doing. Or die trying.
Fr man it’s so hard to get help I keep trying but I can’t find a rehab I could afford and I can’t find a clinic to give me refills of suboxen so everytime I go to the er they give me a week supply and that doesn’t last long enough to get through the withdrawls and everything…it’s like there’s no other options there’s not a lot of resources to get help smh
As someone who has fought drug addiction and dependency all their life, thank you Arkansas State Troopers, for helping to keep this misery and death ,off the streets.
You think that will make a difference.. you don't think us addicts are just going to buy from whoever has the supply? I do wish they would work harder to stop that entonitozine crap.. fent is bad enough now they want our skin to rot and kill us faster smh.. modern day opium war
don‘t you think, it would be better, if drugs were legal, and addiction would be treated like an illness? it‘s roughly 10% of users who get addicted to most substances. therefor, even tho it sucks, when you get addicted, isn‘t it wrong, to criminalize something, most people don‘t get harmed by?
It never ceases to amazing me how these drug runners manage to get themselves pulled over for something stupid like speeding or driving erratically, then give the officer a reason to search their vehicle such as not having a license or registration or just acting suspicious, and then get caught with copious amounts of illegal drugs. If you’re doing that shit, you gotta be the best damn driver on the road as cool as a cucumber and not draw attention to yourself.
i think these are pretty much Hail Mary's. Not well-planned or thought-out. The perps usually have about six cents to their name(s). Are doing this to become temporarily flush again.
Craziest part to me is 2:36 when the cop is talking to the passenger while letting the driver go through the rear of the vehicle. Anything could have happened right there. Glad it didn’t.
@@kek148 What? That’s actually a bad move in the officers fault. Just seen a video where a cop died for the same mistake. Though this one had backup, still not wise.
I’ve met my share of cops I did not feel were very professional or seemed like the job or responsibility got to their head. This cop is calm, professional and respectful the entire time, not condescending, even meets them in the middle trying to communicate with them in Spanish. What a boss. An inspiration to me to stay calm and collected in intense situations in my own life, which pale in comparison to this.
Unfortunately, it is a drop in the sea and the drug war is pointless... statistically, police annually only seize a very minute portion of all drugs being distributed in any country. These big busts are nothing.
Makes virtually no difference. They make fentanyl by the pound, and the dosage is in the micrograms. There is probably enough of the stuff already made to kill half the US. Distribution is the only hard part. That's why prohibition doesn't work. As long as people don't have anything to lose, they will find a way to get this stuff.
@@MrJohnboyofsj Don't buy that crap from a cop when they pull you over. "Yeah you weren't maintaining your lane" Cops can legally lie to you and get away with it. These dudes looked like they were exposed beforehand tho by some inside info and they were maintaining their lane just fine.
The officer initially found six packages wrapped in duct tape and hidden in the vehicle’s spare tire. The spare tire was a 15-inch tire, but the vehicle required 17-inch tires. The packages turned out to be over 15 pounds of fentanyl, which had a street value of over $6 million. In November 2017, a grand jury charged Ruiz (the one in the passenger seat, who rented the vehicle) with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl. Then, in February 2018, an auto salvage business contacted law enforcement to report they had located a suspicious package in a vehicle they had purchased at auction from a car rental company. The vehicle was the same Hyundai Santa Fe from Ruiz’ previous traffic stop, and it contained an additional five kilograms of fentanyl that had not been found in the initial search. *Info sourced from the U.S. Department of Justice website. They each got 11 years in prison - not long enough in my opinion.
Most spares are smaller than the actual wheel size.. I doubt this Hyundai has a Brembo brake package, a 15” spare is normal for wheels with dinky little brakes.
@@JosephDavidBen Right?? It's crazy. As a first responder for a major US city, and an active soldier in the US SPECOPS community, I see this in two wildly different ways. Most importantly, I respect your observation. Parents and loved ones, pay attention - this is NOT a poor, rich, or colored-based issue. PLEASE pay attention to your loved-ones. DONT WAIT!
@bullittoothtony4043 I know, but some folks have full-size spare tires. (I do, why buy something I have to replace later?) In this case, if they are smuggling millions in drugs, it makes sense to do the extra $30 to 60 spare tire investment. (It also makes sense, not to speed, or commit a misdemeanor while you're committing a felony. Lol I was just reporting what the law enforcement agents (LEO's) from the DEA reported. I'm pretty sure they're particular about their Public Affairs Office (PAO) reports, as are most Federal agencies. Kind regards :)
Imagine being the person/s that hired these guys to drive this load and then being able to watch this whole situation unfold on UA-cam and know exactly what went down
Yes he did but I don’t understand why he pulled them out of car and patted everybody down. It doesn’t make sense. Did they give him permission to search the car and what did he suspect them of?
You can always tell when cop knows something is in a car . All of his attention is on searching and there's nothing that's gonna distract him until he finds it. Someone told on him
Actually he said “He got a little tired” pointing to the guy in the passenger seat, but still funny comment, no doubt enough fullness for the suv and lots of passing cars 😆
You can simply buy an Android burner for like $10 more! You could get a Google Voice number to go to it as a second number for free! Freaking amateur hour! They were obviously not professionals and the smuggler king pin got what he paid for!
I’m so thankful for Troopers protecting us from these criminal invasions of drugs pouring into our nation. God bless all who serve in law enforcement!!!
Awesome officer. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Makes me proud to have serve as Deputy Sheriff for 30 years. It is officers like this one that I would have loved to served with.
That was very stupid driving unlicensed while you're transporting millions of dollars worth of drug's. You're increasing you're chances of getting caught.
Yep go a bit further north. You can tell them you're visiting Latino relatives, which would easily be believable as far as NM and TX. Once past there you still don't want to tell them you're going to NY.

So 5 months later that same car was at an auction with more fentanyl found inside was and nearly sold to someone else? Woah! Imagine buying that car and later being stopped and arrested for intent to sell! Yikes
@Skydaddy Myth-Busters Drug dogs suck. They're inaccurate af. Lots of false positives. Good chance you'd end up tearing your car apart looking for drugs that aren't there. Their purpose isn't actually to find drugs, just to give law enforcement "probable cause" to search you. All the dogs want is to please their master for praise and reward, and that happens when they provide a "positive hit" regardless of whether or not drugs are present. Law enforcement understands this. They just want any lawful excuse to search you
I too lost someone very close due to fentynle. Its a big killer here in Kansas city, especially with the teens who want to experiment with drugs for the first time.
I don't think it will save any lives. The people who want fentanyl will find it some other way and eventually kill themselves. This stop literally means nothing in the big picture. Don't mean to sound negative but that's the truth...
This officer did an awesome job. Makes me proud to be an American when I see cops this well trained and professional! This should be a training video for other young cadets to have to watch. Good job officer

Crazy how this stop escalated from "Just pulling you over to make sure you're okay," into a full scale search, seizure and arrest of everyone in the car.
Youd be surprised how much interstate trafficking happens. These cops are trained to look for this shit. These arnt regular dumb dumb city cops these are state troopers who see this shit day in and day out
@@dbpm876 city cops mostly see the users, not the traffickers. You’re an idiot if you think someone transporting 6 mil isn’t dangerous. This is a whole different type of crime lol.
You would have thought that, before setting off on a road trip with $6 Million of drugs in the car, you would all have your stories straight incase you get pulled up. How long you are staying, which hotel, who is related to who. It's just the absolute basics....Make sure you are all singing from the same hymn sheet
Doesn’t matter…they could have had backing from the Pope..these guys were profiled and every cop knows it! Spanish driver, Cali Registration in Arkansas, rental car, east bound on I40? Equals PROFILED..funny how the “Swerving” was on dash came but everything else was. Not sure how kosher the continuity of evidence handling at the end was either! Was that the tow truck driver driving it back to the barracks? Lmao! Idiots on both sides here!
Knowing somebody who died of F, I applaud these officers for apprehending these people and helping save the lives of millions of people who would have become victims.
People like you are the problem with America. I too know people who have died to fent. With that being said the gov has been working with cartels for years now to keep the war on drugs going. Y'all good normal folks just eat this shit up like "woohoo hooray, must've saved a billion lives" 😂😂little do you know....
victims ? 99% choose to get high. it’s not something that gets prescribed to you and accidentally over do it. lmao let’s not take accountability for our own actions.
This officer is almost unreal. How he knew that tire was the wrong size was inspirational and how he conducted this traffic stop was so smooth. Great respect to him and his profession.
@@joelamel8056Nah, if was a tip they would have not taken so long in case one tried to cap them. Also interstate centric police are trained about spare tires.
You know that feeling you get when you get pulled over with $6M of fentanyl in your car and you know you're going to prison for the rest of your life? If everyone could GENUINELY experience this feeling in its entirety, I feel like less people would find themselves with $6M of fentanyl
@Kenneth Freeman......bwahhhhh.....thanks alot man.....i just got some morning coffee spewed all over my laptop keyboard. Almost twice in fact as I re-read your comment out loud using my best William Shatner impression....even pausing for effect. Great comment man.
I suppose if they experienced that in it's entirety, then they wouldn't have the opportunity to have $6mil worth of fentanyl in their car, since they'd be too busy taping up their butt cheeks in prison!
Yeah, have you seen the places south of the border some of these guys come from? Id rather take my chances with the federales and the troopers and the jails than the cartels. And thats not gonna change. Let me put it this way "if everyone could just experience the feeling of watching a cartel enforcer put a machete to your little sisters throat and threaten to kill her if you dont mule some drugs for him? I think a lot less people would wonder why would anyone take this risk"
I agree. Another thing to consider if they didn't know already what they had is that mainly blacks and Latinos are interrogated this way when we are pulled over and ultimately searched.
I got pulled over two times within a 2 mile radius in Arkansas for having CA plates. I was a Marine transferring from San Diego to North Carolina , I showed them my orders and they still searched my car both times along with my spare tire. Good times in Arkansas ! Lmao that’s one state I would like to never visit again lol
He handled it very slickly he knew for multiple minutes and he called backup in their car without telling them. He then proceeded to act like he was just arresting the driver for driving without a license. Then when the detective pulled up the vibe instantly turned
it was a DEA agent almost certainly. The same DEA agent that told the cop which car to pull over. local PD have broader authority to search a vehicle without a warrant than the DEA has. So they use local PD often to arrest traffickers that the DEA is investigating.
@@Erin-bd6jg that’s what they use to treat pain in clinical settings like the ICU or surgery ward for a short period of time. It’s little patches they put on the skin that last 48 hours delivering constant dosage. The fentanyl in the drug market is cheaply manufactured pure fentanyl powder from China, used to cut/lace heroin or make fake heroin.
@@KendallPhillips89 thats exactly right. all these "busts" do is drive up the price. dealers can now say "look at all this heat!... we want more $" lol
the crazy part is if he was telling the truth and didn’t know about the drugs. i’ve been in the car with ppl who had all kind of things on them and didn’t know until we got to a destination. it sucks when ppl put you in a situation and not let you know anything beforehand, so you can choose if you want to take the risk or not.
I hope every dealer gets ratted out. Fentanyl is slaughtering our youth and people wanna stand on the no snitch street rules. You catch someone dealing death then I say give them death immediately
And that tire isn't for that car its to a newish Chevy s-10 or ford ranger hard to tell. They said the rim size isn't the same but it wouldn't be for a spare. And that's a full size tire also, not a donut the santa fe has a crappy donut like most vehicles do. And it wasn't inflated it was so flat that when the cop pushed on it he could feel the bundles of I'm guessing pills.
"In February 2018, an auto salvage company contacted law enforcement to report they had located a suspicious package in a vehicle they had purchased at auction from a car rental company. The vehicle was the same Hyundai Santa Fe from this traffic stop...and it contained an additional five kilograms of fentanyl that had not been found in the initial search." Makes you wonder how many innocent people are out there driving vehicles bought at auction containing drugs the cops failed to find. Scary.
My family has “flipped” cars since the 70’s. We started with auctions and found weed that was over 20 years old. My brother in law is a 27 year veteran of our local law enforcement and it’s never happened before, at least here, we were in Florida in the early 80’s and I’m kinda surprised that we never found anything….
I saw another case when the couple stuck to their story and charges were dropped because they said the drugs must have been from the previous person using the rental. 😂
Exactly what I was thinking about after watching a few of these I just bought a used car five months ago and you know what else sucks a transmission code popped up two days ago for a bad torque converter but I must admit the car actually runs smoothly
Thank you for getting that crap off the streets! Having been exposed to it and surviving I appreciate what happened here. Anyone caught trafficking Fentanyl needs to receive a life sentence period!
Someone told on these guy’s, He was driving fine. The cop knew to check tire, seem kinda odd to me. Either this cop checks every spare tire or he knew something was in there
Probably just because it's the oldest trick in the book. George Christie said a better version of the method in the early days was for them to put it in the tires of a motorcycle. The bike would be in the back of a pickup, looking like a biker's bike that broke down and was being hauled somewhere. That was 50 years ago.
@@awaspthatswatchingyou4559 nah go bro it’s a state trooper they deal only with big crimes. His job is to be out on the look out for big things like this.
I doubt he checks every single spare tire. 3 mexicans in a rental car on a "road trip" to New York, where the driver doesn't have a license and the other 2 don't speak english. Pretty obvious something was up.
Dude Arkansas state troopers would literally pit a car going 100 plus and damage their own cars in the process. That dude pulled over because hes more afraid of the troopers than the cartels lmao
@Derek Maestas Pleading the 5th is enough, don’t need to be white to know that… Police here did an exceptional job handling these people and you make it about race.
@Derek Maestas no no, only an American citizen would know that. If you dont have citizenship here or a Visa or anything get the hell out we dont want you here, you got in the wrong way.
Maybe a setup! When police lie about why they pulled over a vehicle they destroy their own credibility making an illegal or fake stop. This case could be theown out on a technicality.
I'm happy this bust happened, don't get me wrong, but this cop knew exactly what this guy had and where he had it. He went straight to looking at the spare before searching any other part of the car.
No. Every cop in America knows the spare tire is the number one hiding spot for drugs. It's the easiest and laziest way of trying to conceal them. More times than not the drugs will be in the spare tire.
Realistically, probably not. Whoever ordered that fentanyl is going to get the load they ordered one way or another. The cartel accounts for busted shipments in their business model and will just send the same amount again to wherever it was headed
Nope. This guy is trained in interdiction and undoubtedly is a part of HIDTA. They look for specific things and ask specific questions to find stuff like this.
This was a tip 1000% :D No traffic stop looks like this, and ends up in an "accidental" find this big. Officer even checked under the car during the initial stop investigation :D Somebody snitched
This is actually a common tactic, cartels will rig up small cars with small shipments along side larger trucks with big shipments and then call tip lines alerting authorities to the small shipments which creates a larger window for the big shipments to slip threw. Also use to hear rumors about them doing things like this to get high ranking members out of legal trouble in the states as well. A high ranking member gets pinched and looking at some serious time so in order to get a good deal a small shipment(small by cartel numbers but big for police.. like a few million $) will be arranged just so the high ranking member can rat on it. Cops find the drugs and make a big bust and the high ranking member followed thru with his help and gets out in a few months rather than a few years.
Yeah man. Cop speaks pretty good Spanish also, probably not a coincidence he just happened to pull over a car with out of state plates with 6 mil of dope.
Apparently not, he left another 6 kilos in the car that were discovered by a person who bought the car at an auction! They missed 6 more million dollars worth of that drug! Luckily the guy that found it called the cops!
@@stevep250 true. Fentanyl is the most fucked up shit ever. A lot wrong in this world. Cops happened to come across a good justification for stopping anyone that isn’t from there
@@marcommj yeah if they found nothing this would’ve been a questionable stop. Which happens to a lot of people and is part of the reason people distrust the police
Huge fentanyl haul. These guys may have saved thousands of lives! I'm amazed that the officer noticed that the spare tire was the wrong size and knew it was filled with drugs! Give this guy a huge bonus!
doubtful lives were saved; the scale of drug production and muling is wayy bigger than a bust here and there, and this is just one of many drugs people stir up and put out. Cycle just keeps cycling as long as there's greed and poor choices and a broken society to maintain this cycle
Reading news articles you’ll learn the police search missed another 5 kilograms. It was reported by the salvage company that bought the rental car at auction!
Yeah or it's a trap car...6 million is nothing to a drug lord. It also could have been extremely cut and crappy and they used that batch to put in the trap car, and then all those giant semi trucks are hauling 100-400million of drugs passing by, I mean that's what El Chapo did, that's why he was a billionaire, and if you ever seen Queen of the south on Netflix they did this too. And they would call police and tip them off to the trap car and the random ppl they hired and payed who think they are transporting something small or weed but they get screwed over and used so the big batch can get by. And they cant talk because they really dont even know the person or boss or anything about the operation.
For everybody that's surprised to hear that guy speaking Spanish with a Southern accent apparently you've never seen a general contractor on the job site.

Highway patrol is by far the most active type of law enforcement for drugs, other than the DEA.

People thing the trucks transport them, and they often do, but the more common way is sending out 10 cars at the same time. This way even if one gets caught, 90% of your product made it through so you're good.

Craziest part to me is 2:36 when the cop is talking to the passenger while letting the driver go through the rear of the vehicle. Anything could have happened right there. Glad it didn’t.
Had me nervous, too 😬
There were other cops out of the camera watching. But still, yes that was risky.
Just about to say that.... the officer was not alone on the stop. Another officer was out of the cameras view keeping on eye on him
Or when the front seat passenger went back into the car to get his coat.
@@kek148
What? That’s actually a bad move in the officers fault. Just seen a video where a cop died for the same mistake. Though this one had backup, still not wise.
I’ve met my share of cops I did not feel were very professional or seemed like the job or responsibility got to their head. This cop is calm, professional and respectful the entire time, not condescending, even meets them in the middle trying to communicate with them in Spanish. What a boss. An inspiration to me to stay calm and collected in intense situations in my own life, which pale in comparison to this.
Arkansas has some very polite and professional troopers
It probably helps when you have an intel report with the names/backgrounds of all 3 occupants before you even turn the lights on...
When a cop tells you “I’am just trying to help you”, translates into you’re screwed!
Best thing you can do is to shut your mouth. The police can’t help you in that situation but anything you say can hurt you.
The only time you can bet it’s the truth “anything you say can and will be used against you”

Unfortunately, it is a drop in the sea and the drug war is pointless... statistically, police annually only seize a very minute portion of all drugs being distributed in any country. These big busts are nothing.
all they did was maybe increase the price by a nickel
@Ligmanutshoe they usually don’t bait with a million dollar load.
@@brucesmith1544 lol 😂 exactly
Makes virtually no difference. They make fentanyl by the pound, and the dosage is in the micrograms. There is probably enough of the stuff already made to kill half the US. Distribution is the only hard part. That's why prohibition doesn't work. As long as people don't have anything to lose, they will find a way to get this stuff.
Step 1 in being a drug mule via vehicle : Have valid Driver's License ...
Actually step 1 would be to stay in your lane, the reason the officer said he stopped them was he was driving all over the road.
@@Ben-eo8pd If this was a pre-planned stop, they would have had more units close by.
@@MrJohnboyofsj
Don't buy that crap from a cop when they pull you over.
"Yeah you weren't maintaining your lane"
Cops can legally lie to you and get away with it. These dudes looked like they were exposed beforehand tho by some inside info and they were maintaining their lane just fine.
I’ll add to this thread make sure your license and inspection and registration all on point
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Make sure you know a damn good lawyer.
The officer initially found six packages wrapped in duct tape and hidden in the vehicle’s spare tire. The spare tire was a 15-inch tire, but the vehicle required 17-inch tires. The packages turned out to be over 15 pounds of fentanyl, which had a street value of over $6 million.
In November 2017, a grand jury charged Ruiz (the one in the passenger seat, who rented the vehicle) with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl. Then, in February 2018, an auto salvage business contacted law enforcement to report they had located a suspicious package in a vehicle they had purchased at auction from a car rental company. The vehicle was the same Hyundai Santa Fe from Ruiz’ previous traffic stop, and it contained an additional five kilograms of fentanyl that had not been found in the initial search.
*Info sourced from the U.S. Department of Justice website.
They each got 11 years in prison - not long enough in my opinion.
Most spares are smaller than the actual wheel size.. I doubt this Hyundai has a Brembo brake package, a 15” spare is normal for wheels with dinky little brakes.
I thought it was a cheap drug it's crazy that such an amount is worth millions
@@JosephDavidBen Right?? It's crazy. As a first responder for a major US city, and an active soldier in the US SPECOPS community, I see this in two wildly different ways. Most importantly, I respect your observation. Parents and loved ones, pay attention - this is NOT a poor, rich, or colored-based issue. PLEASE pay attention to your loved-ones. DONT WAIT!
can you imagine being the worker for the company that bought the rental and found the packages? be lucky if most turned in half of it lol
@bullittoothtony4043 I know, but some folks have full-size spare tires. (I do, why buy something I have to replace later?) In this case, if they are smuggling millions in drugs, it makes sense to do the extra $30 to 60 spare tire investment. (It also makes sense, not to speed, or commit a misdemeanor while you're committing a felony. Lol I was just reporting what the law enforcement agents (LEO's) from the DEA reported. I'm pretty sure they're particular about their Public Affairs Office (PAO) reports, as are most Federal agencies. Kind regards :)

I hope every dealer gets ratted out. Fentanyl is slaughtering our youth and people wanna stand on the no snitch street rules. You catch someone dealing death then I say give them death immediately
True, that’s why I better stay away from this kind of business, a lot of snitches.
@@michaelshirhall1831 yes we should be as bad as them and lower our standards to theirs
@@PostMalone-real so no one should get repercussions for their actions? That’s not how life works
it wasn’t a tip it was just the cali plates
It is almost comical to see how often drug smugglers are caught simply because they cannot follow the rules of the road.
My aunt was one of them, she is still locked in Colorado. She got pulled over for tailgating a big rig among other minor traffic violations.
That’s all I keep thinking!!!
Can't fix stupid 😂
And that tire isn't for that car its to a newish Chevy s-10 or ford ranger hard to tell. They said the rim size isn't the same but it wouldn't be for a spare. And that's a full size tire also, not a donut the santa fe has a crappy donut like most vehicles do. And it wasn't inflated it was so flat that when the cop pushed on it he could feel the bundles of I'm guessing pills.
@@bobthompson4319 Newish S10..dude GM stopped production of those over 16 yrs ago.
When cops go to the old “help me help you”, you’re going down for a long stretch.
@Minny Soda lmao cry about it felon
What I discovered from the videos is that it is not a mere coincidence, but rather there is a report about every car that is stopped by the police.
"In February 2018, an auto salvage company contacted law enforcement to report they had located a suspicious package in a vehicle they had purchased at auction from a car rental company. The vehicle was the same Hyundai Santa Fe from this traffic stop...and it contained an additional five kilograms of fentanyl that had not been found in the initial search."
Makes you wonder how many innocent people are out there driving vehicles bought at auction containing drugs the cops failed to find. Scary.
My family has “flipped” cars since the 70’s. We started with auctions and found weed that was over 20 years old. My brother in law is a 27 year veteran of our local law enforcement and it’s never happened before, at least here, we were in Florida in the early 80’s and I’m kinda surprised that we never found anything….
Scary
I saw another case when the couple stuck to their story and charges were dropped because they said the drugs must have been from the previous person using the rental. 😂
Exactly what I was thinking about after watching a few of these I just bought a used car five months ago and you know what else sucks a transmission code popped up two days ago for a bad torque converter but I must admit the car actually runs smoothly
"What kind of phone is that?' Special Cartel issue. I bet.
cheap burner phone
It would be funny if there is a cartel-branded Android distribution on it.
The first fellow seems very nervous. He’s obviously hiding fentanyl in his spare tire 🤣
Yeah lol I was like, that's definitely not an accident they found that.
@@jamesg863 yeah.. what? did the guy confess that or something?
@@buyingmississippi6791 The first thing that they noticed is that the spare was way smaller than the tires on the car.
No drug mule would have a suspended license.
Right what kind of idiot
Definitely an informer in this situation, they didn’t just stumble on this
Thank you for getting that crap off the streets! Having been exposed to it and surviving I appreciate what happened here. Anyone caught trafficking Fentanyl needs to receive a life sentence period!

@@erichfielder7235 you guessed correctly back when I created my account I had an 89 LX with a 408 stroker.
Nope, death..
@@ultimatesunrise I could not agree more it’s a death sentence to so many innocent folks and sadly the addicted.
Someone told on these guy’s, He was driving fine. The cop knew to check tire, seem kinda odd to me. Either this cop checks every spare tire or he knew something was in there
Probably just because it's the oldest trick in the book. George Christie said a better version of the method in the early days was for them to put it in the tires of a motorcycle. The bike would be in the back of a pickup, looking like a biker's bike that broke down and was being hauled somewhere. That was 50 years ago.
Doesn't it? Can't trust no one nowadays
@@awaspthatswatchingyou4559 nah go bro it’s a state trooper they deal only with big crimes. His job is to be out on the look out for big things like this.
I doubt he checks every single spare tire. 3 mexicans in a rental car on a "road trip" to New York, where the driver doesn't have a license and the other 2 don't speak english. Pretty obvious something was up.
It's not the cop's first stop.
He's not saying anything because he's more scared of the cartel than officer Arkansas.
Who really knows but he knows he’s fucked if he speaks whichever side the coin faces
Dude Arkansas state troopers would literally pit a car going 100 plus and damage their own cars in the process. That dude pulled over because hes more afraid of the troopers than the cartels lmao
@@frickedyourgirlfriend3678 they might pit your car going 100 but they won’t slaughter your extended family

@Derek Maestas Pleading the 5th is enough, don’t need to be white to know that… Police here did an exceptional job handling these people and you make it about race.
@Derek Maestas no no, only an American citizen would know that. If you dont have citizenship here or a Visa or anything get the hell out we dont want you here, you got in the wrong way.
There’s almost always an idiot in the comments somewhere. @Derek Maestas, clearly you’re it!
@Derek Maestas We found Al Sharpton everyone, here to make the world a better, divisive, identitarian place.
@@JerseySlayer I like how you disguised your own form of racism into that comment. You’re not as smart as you think. 👎🏽
He wasn’t driving in the middle of the road. That cop knew exactly what he was looking for and where to look for. 😎
The first thing you check is the spare tire underneath the car? Because it looked like it had no air in it? Righttttttt. The tire underneath the car..
All he needed was to have California plates. Most Cops used stop you just for that.
Maybe a setup! When police lie about why they pulled over a vehicle they destroy their own credibility making an illegal or fake stop. This case could be theown out on a technicality.
Real shit I didn't see one law being broken these clown coughing it up like some lames first ima need you tell me what law i have broken for my ID lol
@@burnoutbruce925 driving erratically...your BS I don't have to show ID argument after operating a vehicle on the highway doesn't work in Arkansas.
I'm happy this bust happened, don't get me wrong, but this cop knew exactly what this guy had and where he had it. He went straight to looking at the spare before searching any other part of the car.
No. Every cop in America knows the spare tire is the number one hiding spot for drugs. It's the easiest and laziest way of trying to conceal them. More times than not the drugs will be in the spare tire.
Literally saved lives taking that stuff off the street.
Realistically, probably not. Whoever ordered that fentanyl is going to get the load they ordered one way or another. The cartel accounts for busted shipments in their business model and will just send the same amount again to wherever it was headed
If ur willing to take it u deserve the consequences
Wake up , this actually made it a million times worse.
@@nate-lc1tj 90% of the time you don’t know what you’re taking they just set you up with a car and you drive
@@Hennsxie I'm talking about ingesting fentanyl not smuggling it
Looks like to me they had previous knowledge about the car. Somebody called in a tip about the shipment. Rival cartels probably.
I said the same thing. It feels that way to me. Why would everyone's licenses be asked for if it's just a traffic citation?
Could have been a lot of things
Yep
Absolutely
Nope. This guy is trained in interdiction and undoubtedly is a part of HIDTA. They look for specific things and ask specific questions to find stuff like this.
When the officer started speaking Spanish, dude probably shit himself 😂

The cop straight up said there are drugs in the spare tire, before he even checked it... so was defiantly waiting on that car to come thru.
This was a tip 1000% :D No traffic stop looks like this, and ends up in an "accidental" find this big. Officer even checked under the car during the initial stop investigation :D Somebody snitched
Thank the snitch
You right about that

Anthony Hewitt bro this man saw one grainy ass pic and went full on simp mode
Alright, so I’m not the only one to think of saying the Hilton 😂 That was the first thing to come to my mind when the cop asked him 😆

Something you never want to hear from the police is “I would like to help u. Would u like to help me?”🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
The whole time they were there at least 2 to 3 big rigs passed by that scene with 10 times that amount stored in a shipment.
not many big rigs doing domestic, the weight checks and regulation makes it basically stupid to try. uhaul/rental trucks tho. 20years in the DEA
This is actually a common tactic, cartels will rig up small cars with small shipments along side larger trucks with big shipments and then call tip lines alerting authorities to the small shipments which creates a larger window for the big shipments to slip threw. Also use to hear rumors about them doing things like this to get high ranking members out of legal trouble in the states as well. A high ranking member gets pinched and looking at some serious time so in order to get a good deal a small shipment(small by cartel numbers but big for police.. like a few million $) will be arranged just so the high ranking member can rat on it. Cops find the drugs and make a big bust and the high ranking member followed thru with his help and gets out in a few months rather than a few years.
@@bennywhite7062 that's actually a smart move its a dirty move but smart. That being said I hate drugs
Word.

Officer definitely had a tip. He knew what he was looking for
Yeah man. Cop speaks pretty good Spanish also, probably not a coincidence he just happened to pull over a car with out of state plates with 6 mil of dope.
Exactly. They knew they were comin
He had many tips and several clues as soon as his investigation started.
Apparently not, he left another 6 kilos in the car that were discovered by a person who bought the car at an auction! They missed 6 more million dollars worth of that drug! Luckily the guy that found it called the cops!
@@GrannyGrice I think it was another 5 kilos left, but yeah pretty crazy right! What an honest guy
"I'm trying to help you get 25 plus years in jail by admitting guilt" lol
For real! Idk why they even stopped them to begin with. I guess they got nothing going on in Arkansas
That fetanyl would’ve been used to lace and kill other people low key think 25 years is justified
@@stevep250 true. Fentanyl is the most fucked up shit ever. A lot wrong in this world. Cops happened to come across a good justification for stopping anyone that isn’t from there
@@marcommj yeah if they found nothing this would’ve been a questionable stop. Which happens to a lot of people and is part of the reason people distrust the police
@@stevep250 100% agree
Huge fentanyl haul. These guys may have saved thousands of lives! I'm amazed that the officer noticed that the spare tire was the wrong size and knew it was filled with drugs! Give this guy a huge bonus!
I wonder what happens to $6 million worth of fetty. I find it hard to believe it's just "incinerated"
doubtful lives were saved; the scale of drug production and muling is wayy bigger than a bust here and there, and this is just one of many drugs people stir up and put out. Cycle just keeps cycling as long as there's greed and poor choices and a broken society to maintain this cycle
@Jedistache my guess is they re distribute it and make a profit, I mean the CIA put crack on the streets so...
Reading news articles you’ll learn the police search missed another 5 kilograms. It was reported by the salvage company that bought the rental car at auction!
Yeah or it's a trap car...6 million is nothing to a drug lord. It also could have been extremely cut and crappy and they used that batch to put in the trap car, and then all those giant semi trucks are hauling 100-400million of drugs passing by, I mean that's what El Chapo did, that's why he was a billionaire, and if you ever seen Queen of the south on Netflix they did this too. And they would call police and tip them off to the trap car and the random ppl they hired and payed who think they are transporting something small or weed but they get screwed over and used so the big batch can get by. And they cant talk because they really dont even know the person or boss or anything about the operation.
Ain’t no way that plain clothes officer was just “working” the highway this a setup the caught this dude cause they were looking for his ass
💯💯💯💯💯💯
The cop's had some help here, by way of String Ray
Set up by placing one trooper with 3 cartel guys ? 🤷🏻♂️
