The DEA Touted A Major Fentanyl Bust. Then A Key Suspect Slipped Away.

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.

No way he is still alive that's a lot of money lost. The worst thing he did was "slip away"

[TheSavageBountyHunter]

Slipped away... Yea.. I'm sure he did... We all believe that 🤨

[MH-YouTube-Controlled]

Where's the bad guy?
He went for coffee?
Did he say when he'd be back?

[cleanthestreets]

They just let a cartel runner away….. meaning this runner’s cartel has contacts inside that agency.

[tbolton]

OH BTW, there's no mention of the cash. The tendentious cops are crooked.

[barbarafogle]

The drugs made it to their delivery spot. Right to the dea

[oppressedspeakeroftruth]

This government is a scorrupt as I've ever seen. It's on full display right now

[ericsaucedo]

No deal I'm gone 😂😂😂😂 there's more to this story

[PlugRx]

He prob had like 30k stashed, enough to live freely for a while

[dlight]

"Escape"? Y'all let him drive away = You're free to go. 🤦‍♀️

[Charmcity]

What are the odds that this guy actually works undercover for another agency?

[ghostwalk]

Of course he's not going to lead you to the guys buying THAT MUCH lol, first day on the job?

[poweryoutuber]

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!

[josepha]

Drug dealer ain’t the one too blame
😂 the doctors are

[alexandrabug]

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.

[ducducgoose]

😂 they lost an 18 wheeler?!?! And aren’t asleep at the wheel?!!! 🤣

[TheJschiriboga]

The guy got away because the guy was a cop

[honorladone]

Who's slicker than the DEA? Philadelphia USA

[jessemedsker]

They bust that very lil bit of dope while trailer after trailer makes it across us borders daily

[barbarafogle]

Fentanyl patches are made in the USA. Still think the chemicals used to make it come from China
