SUPRESSION OPERATION NETS HUMAN

SMUGGLERS/DRUGS

Deputies Seize Nearly 700 Pounds of Marijuana and $10,000

Cash from Three U.S. Soldiers

51 Suspects and 37 Illegal Aliens Arrested in Less Than 48 Hours

(Maricopa County, Arizona) Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s two-day crime suppression/ human smuggling

operation has ended resulting in the arrest of 51 suspects and 37 illegal aliens, 34 of whom will be

charged on state human smuggling charges, a class four felony. The other three suspected illegal

aliens were turned over to Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement.

During day two of the operation, Sheriff’s deputies arrested three U.S. Army soldiers on possession

of marijuana, drug transportation, money laundering and conspiracy when the soldiers were

discovered to have 680 pounds of marijuana and $10,000 in cash during a traffic stop in North

Phoenix.

The three soldiers were wearing military clothing and identified themselves with U.S. Government

issued military identification. The driver of that vehicle was also charged with driving on a

suspended driver’s license.

“It is during the enforcement of minor traffic violations like cracked windshields and broken tail

lights that deputies come across offenders of more serious crimes like drug smugglers, human

smugglers, and perhaps even murderersâ€

God Bless Sheriff Joe!

stated that despite criticism of his suppression operations from the Obama

administration, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, other politicians and some media that he

will continue

Amazing that so many people/groups are fighting a man who is only enforcing the law.

Get our of your battered voter syndrome and vote your politicians OUT of office in 2010.

Sheriif Joe is an American hero!

gotta feel for the three army soldiers.
as this probably ruined their military careers

Just imagine if we had more people like Sheriff Joe Arpaio all around the U.S.A., as opposed to the many cowards who refuse to uphold the laws against illegal aliens.

These soldiers knew exactly what they were doing.

I was thinking the same thing, but their arrests do prove that Sheriff Joe is not "racially profiling", "Latino illegal aliens".

I hope they drop the charges on the soldiers or by some miracle, the US legalize/regulates/taxes the illegal drug trade so Americas can run their own trade legally as legitimate regulated businesses.

I'm sure they did. I'm just sorry it's a crime and wish we would legalize/regulate and tax that industry so people can work in it legally if they want to so long as they comply with the regulations of age, quantity and quality. Most will do so if given the opportunity.
