Like luggage? Yeah. Bags? Luggage? For your clothes? You do you bags for your clothes? All right, everybody, good morning. We got another video for you. This one comes from Rogue Fugitive, and it is everything escalated after officers asked about drugs. I haven't seen it. Let's go. Okay, whose car is this? Whose? Yours? Uh do you have any bags? Do you have any bags? Do you have any bags? Do you have any bags? Okay. >> On January 17th, 2023, a Coconino County >> Okay, Coconino County. So, Coconino, large second largest land-wise county. It's like 19,000 square miles. A lot of the Grand Canyon is in Coconino County. Flagstaff is in Coconino County. Part of Sedona is in Coconino County, but the I-40 runs through Coconino County, and that is a heavily trafficking a heavy trafficking drug trafficking area. So, uh this is uh this should be good. >> deputy pulled over a vehicle near Happy Jack for a traffic violation. >> Happy Jack. >> What started as a routine stop quickly [music] took a different turn when the deputy began asking questions about the two men in their trip. Here's what happened [music] next. >> Hello. >> Hello. >> Hey, I'm Deputy Himes. Reason why I'm stopping you is a couple reasons. Uh your license plate, can't read it. You have to be able to read it within 50 ft. [music] Okay, can't read that. And then two, um your insurance is showing unconfirmed. Okay, do you have current insurance on the vehicle? >> All right, we can see. But, let's speak Spanish. >> Uh a little bit. Not not a lot. Okay, there's no requirement that we should have to speak Spanish. If you want to live in this country, how about you learn how to speak English? I've lived in other countries. I learned how to speak Spanish because I lived in other countries. I wanted to speak their language. If you want to come here to America, like I'm not saying you should forget your language, but you should also learn the language we speak here, which is English. >> Nope. Insurance? >> License and tags. >> Insurance, and then the license plate you have to read be able to read within 50 ft. Do you have the registration and insurance? And then is that your record? Insurance? >> Uh insurance? >> Yeah. >> Let let me explain to you. Then then dealer. What dealer? >> No. No, it's a dealer. Aseguranza. >> This guy is in the both dealer. >> His what? >> Uh his dealer. >> This is not an insurance policy. See, not not an insurance policy. >> The uh this insurance this dealer? >> Yeah. Okay, whose car is this? Whose? Yours? You don't have Have you paid for insurance on this vehicle? >> Then dealer insurance. >> Yeah. >> Dealer. >> That's not insurance. >> More insurance? >> That's not insurance. You mind just stepping out, hanging out my front seat with me? >> Okay. >> You Just you. Yeah. >> Hello. >> Hey, you got a couple minutes? Can you translate for me? >> Yeah. >> Okay, you're on speaker. Can you >> [laughter] >> I I wonder if this is his wife because she's like, "Yeah. >> I guess. I'll translate for you." Tell him I stopped him for because there's no insurance on the vehicle. >> El te paró porque no en tu vehículo no tiene seguro. >> It says tell him that make the car is my friends and the dealer said that it had insurance. >> His friend said that it's his friend's car and that the dealer told him that it has insurance. >> Okay, the form they showed me said this is not an insurance policy. >> He's explaining what he did. Like what what does he have to do because his the dealership told him told him that >> Don't matter. >> that the car has insurance. >> So this is the problem when you have a language barrier that you don't realize that you were supposed to have insurance on your vehicle because you can't understand that the dealer the dealer didn't I guarantee you the dealer didn't say that there was insurance. Maybe when they first test drove it, but that was it, you know. Once you buy it, it's on you. >> be a warning, but they need insurance on the vehicle, so they need to purchase it themselves. Uh can you ask him uh where he's coming from? Where are they going to? For what? >> They're going to go check on a house of a friend. >> They worked in installing pavers and we're going to go check a house. >> In Denver? >> Yes. >> Can you ask him uh who his passenger is, how he knows him? How long has he worked for him? Can you ask him when they picked up the car? Is that 1 week or 2 weeks? >> months >> Oh, months. Um can you ask him if I can search their car? >> He said if you're going to take long. >> What's that? >> He said if you're going to take long. >> Um I mean it just depends on how much stuff's in there. >> He said he has uh his luggage and that's it. >> Yeah, I might back. >> The car and his luggage? Um can you make sure that he knows that I'm going to search it basically from bumper to bumper? >> We've talked about this before. Um I'm going to tell you something else here in a second, but I like to stand outside the vehicle. I don't like to be in the vehicle. If somebody runs into the back of you, at least you have the ability to kind of jump out of the way at the last second. Plus, if you end up getting in a fight with him, you're not sitting in a car, you know, and then I feel like you can make movements a lot better. So, but this is a personal preference. This is not anything It's just my personal preference was to stand to not sit in the vehicle once I was out on a traffic stop. >> including all like voids in the car, natural voids, things like that. >> She says go He goes says so he can go ahead and do his job. It's that's okay. >> Okay. All right, thanks, B. >> I got to I got to go. >> You want to [music] go? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Any drugs or anything in the car? >> No, no. >> Okay. Is it okay if I talk to um Ramses first? >> I don't I don't know. Um >> Okay, so what I wanted to say is somebody has been asking in the comments if you give consent to search and then they revoke the consent, um they can do that. They can say, "Hey, look, I don't want to consent anymore." Then they're going to bring the canine out um and have a canine sniff around the vehicle. So, it's a lot easier when there's already a canine. Once you've signed a consent form, I you you probably continue with the search uh even if they retracted although it will make it more difficult in court because they can say, "Hey, my client then retracted it after he signed it once he began searching." So, you could continue but you could easily just stop and run the K9 and then you're going to probably get your alert if there's drugs in the vehicle. So, for those of you asking, can you revoke it? Yeah. Does it but they could continue to search cuz you've already signed the consent to search. >> Let's throw a solo in a emergencia. Let's stay here. >> Yeah, definitely wouldn't leave them in my car, but that everybody's different. It's just it's agencies have different policies, how you what what you're comfortable with as a deputy or as an officer is really what matters. And so, he is clearly comfortable with doing it this way. Ramses >> Hey Ramses. And don't they bust? And don't they bust? Where you going? Where? And don't they? What are you guys doing there? What are you guys doing there? What is what is this haciendo? To visit with your aunt? Where is Tia? Where is Tia? >> different >> Tell me. >> You got to work? >> Yeah. >> I thought you said you were visiting your Tia. Like luggage? Yeah. Bags? Luggage? For your clothes? Bags for your clothes? Yeah. Which ones are yours? >> The deputy initially stopped the vehicle over an unreadable license plate. [music] >> Okay, so this is why our job is dangerous. This is one deputy with two guys trafficking drugs in the middle of this highway where hardly any cars are really coming past. Um, very uh desolate roads and he has got a job to do, but how do you keep an eye on one, let alone two guys and do your job and search a vehicle. So, it's I'm I'm curious to see how what if he gets um if backup shows up here pretty quick. >> and an insurance issue. But, with their answers beginning to raise more questions than they answered, the officer's suspicions began to rise. >> What's that? Yes. Want to stand right there? Go and stand next to that sign for me. It'll just be a few minutes. Okay. >> Okay, smart. This is good. He made him stand far enough away. Also, he made him stand >> and a consent search. >> And he made him stand in a place in front of the vehicle where he can see him a lot easier and they're not by his vehicle, so they can't just jump in and steal his vehicle. Uh smart on his part. >> After getting consent to search the vehicle, what the officers would soon find was about [music] to change everything. You know they're panicking over there standing there watching this guy search. Ooh, what do we got? What do we got? Anticipation here. It's hard because you got to search and keep your eye out for what's going on with those guys. So you can only have your head down for so long. Like this is dangerous. You're You're You're in the trunk and you can't now see those guys. I mean they can close the distance pretty fast. So what you're looking for is have they altered anything? Does it look different than what the actual manufactured what the vehicle comes manufactured? Here he goes. He saw something. >> Take your hands put them back. Take your hands put them back. >> Ooh. >> Take your hands put them back. Take your hands out of your pocket. >> Dude, this guy's a Kudos to this deputy, man. He's all alone dealing with two dudes, two drug dealers. Two drug traffickers. I So, um yeah, like the great job. He's all alone with two guys trafficking drugs and took control of the situation. Your posture, your tone in your voice, your authoritative uh way you carry yourself is going to dictate whether you could see that guy for a split second to me look like he was deciding if he was going to resist arrest or not. And he ultimately decided to not, probably because he realized this deputy seems like he's put together and he's in control of the situation. So, um excellent job. >> Can you see if DPS has anyone? >> And there's nobody on this road, either. Shoo. >> [snorts] >> There we go. Bam. Look at this. Nobody out there. Huh. >> 88, can you see if DPS has anyone available? This is a load vehicle. I have two detained. >> This is deputy. This is what being a deputy is, man. You got to be on your game. You're on your own a lot of times. You can't not do the job because you're not you don't have somebody with you. You got to do it. And man, kudos to this guy. Really excellent work. What do we got? Look like fentanyl pills to me is what it looked like. So now, see there's already drugs in the vehicle. So you can kind of you can kind of tear the vehicle up now um because you've already found drugs. So your ability to to pull things back and and um even remove uh manufactured uh play things that you wouldn't normally remove cuz you don't want to destroy somebody's vehicle. He's got a lot more leeway now. Oh, there you go. Damn. Oh, look at all those fentanyl pills. Hey, great job. Oh, damn. [clears throat] Holy cow. Look at all that. You going to have to tear this whole thing up cuz we've had vehicles that we popped where they were all in the door linings, the roof linings, everything. Meth, cocaine, and fentanyl pills all in in one bust. You know those guys are sitting in the backseat going, "What did we do?" You come here to our country and then you traffic drugs which kill Americans. I don't I have zero compassion for these guys. >> Yeah. A bunch of blues. Uh five Ziploc baggie fools. That's just what I found so far. 87 at 3:33. Uh no insurance. >> Have you even seen a vehicle go by? I don't want to keep reiterating it, but man, there is like nobody out on this road. Okay. Here we go. >> Hey, you going to >> You don't even care. I mean, you don't care about the screw at this point because this car this car is getting towed. It's getting seized. >> 88 10-4. Thank you. >> You're going to seize this car. It's probably owned free and clear. Yeah, he's just busting things up now. You have to because you got to find all the drugs. You can't We've impounded We've taken vehicles, seized them, and then we found out we missed it, and so we went back and we actually found more drugs in it later on. So, you got to do it. So, that's that tape he's checking to see if that's another compartment in there. Uh more drugs. Oh, that looks like something else. Might be meth. Tear that off. Uh see, that looks like meth. So, it looks like he's got some fentanyl and some meth on here. By the way, meth is the leading cause of death in Arizona. Phoenix and Mesa are number one and number two for people who have used meth. I'm sad to even say that. It's embarrassing, but and then Tucson I think is number 10. Um Uh let's see. Cocaine and marijuana Cocaine and is number one and number two and then Tucson was in there as well. And then marijuana like 65% of people in in Mesa have used uh marijuana. So, really high numbers in Arizona. >> Hey, what's up? >> So, on something like this you're going to call the narcs and you're going to have the narcs come out because you want the narcs to be able to interview them and see if you can't get them to flip on who they're trafficking for. >> Hispanic. Yeah. One of them had a Sinaloa ID. >> Okay, Sinaloa Cartel. Notorious. They're the They're the purveyors of most of the fentanyl that comes in. Over 50% of all illegal drugs All illegal drugs in America come through Arizona's borders. This is why it's so important that we have good strong border security cuz look at all this stuff on there. That's got to be at least 100 to 200,000 pills out there. So, it is I mean, that's a lot. >> Yeah, I just sent you pictures uh of the five bags and found about four five more and then two bags of white powder. Two. Uh the >> It could be fentanyl powder. It's hard to tell from here. Um if he's saying it's powder, then it may not be meth. Meth is usually like a white crystalline substance. >> These bags are pretty deep in there. I'm still going through it, so >> Shh. Look at all those things and how much they put in there. >> consent from the vehicle owner to search. And uh I just pulled this back a little bit. So we're in there, so and it was full. So there was some back there. >> He's reaching deep in there. He may have to tear that back seat out. >> back there? >> Huh? >> Is there still more back there? >> I don't think so. >> How about this side? >> I don't know. There might be some on that side, too, cuz I already Are you going to Um unconfirmed insurance, and then I couldn't read the license plate in 50. >> That's a legit stop. Both good reasons for stop. Yep, there you go. There's more. >> There was nice There was a bunch of behind there on the sides. >> Look at that. He just keeps on It's the gift that keeps on giving here. >> So we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 bags of blue pills and then two baggies of a white powder. >> So that's kind of a sign that you might have found it all, because if you found seven bags, I would think why did they ship only seven? Why not eight? Why not five? Why not 10? So that's a good indicator that you may have missed something. 10 bags, that makes sense. Two bags of powders, that makes sense. Three bags of powder, that doesn't really make sense. Typically, they're going to ship it in quantities that are that make sense. And so 10 bags and two bags, that makes sense and it's a good indicator that you probably got all the drugs. >> Okay, I'm just wondering if it's four bags or five bags. Right. >> They're regular size sandwich bags. >> Okay. >> Um and then they're packaged with airtight packaging. >> Jesus Mora Quinones and Ramses Corillo Lopez were both [music] arrested after deputies discovered 10 bags containing an estimated 45,000 blue M30 fentanyl pill. >> I would have thought it was a lot more than 45,000. Seemed like a lot more than 45,000 to me, but >> and two bags of a white powdery substance hidden inside the vehicle. Both men were booked into the Coconino County Detention Facility [music] on drug possession and transportation related charges. >> All right. We're going to go and see if we can't find them. All right, I tried to look these two guys up to see if they were in the system. It's possible they are still being held without 2023. Typically, this would have been adjudicated by now, but they might be facing some serious time. I couldn't find them in the pri- prison system. All right, let's read a couple comments. He speaks English perfectly fine. He's just playing tonto. Tonto is stupid. Yeah, I agree. Uh it's crazy this officer is by himself. Where's backup? Hey man, Joe, this is what it's like out in the these remote areas. We had a lot of places in our county where the deputy was on his own and this is one of them. Backup is usually DPS on a place like this, which is our troopers. Uh so yeah, this is part of being a deputy in in these big counties out here. A, we don't have the staffing. B, um your beat can be it can take you 30 minutes to an hour to run code just in your beat. That's how 19,000 square miles is big, bigger than a lot of states. So, uh El Chapo music playing in the background. Yeah, that's typically a sign. Uh the officer called his disgruntled ex for translate. >> [laughter] >> She did sound like a disgruntled ex. She's like, "Yeah, fine." Uh what kind of support is this? A lone officer making an a significant drug bust in the middle of nowhere alone, extremely dangerous position to be put in. We do it every day. Out here. I mean, there was a lot of calls. I busted a chop shop one time. And there's probably eight guys in that place. And uh it was at least 10 minutes before I had backup. So, it is it's how you carry yourself that that saves us every day out there. The irony of the music while the officer is searching for drugs, weapons, etc. LOL. Yeah. All right, everybody. This is fantastic work. Good interdiction work. Good questions. Um handled his business all alone. Sometimes we don't have the luxury of having somebody else. There may only be a handful of guys on shift throughout the whole county. And the county's 19,000 square miles. You're going to be on your own. Thankfully a trooper showed up after a while. But if not before the guy had to take two people in custody. That could have gone very different. He could have been in a a fight for his life with two dudes on the side of the road. Um so, kudos to him for getting them in cuffs. And kudos for him for doing his job and not being scared. And uh look at we took a lot of a lot of fentanyl. They probably saved a lot of lives off the street. So, excellent job. Bravo, Deputy Hines. And uh let me know what you think. Comment, like, subscribe. What kind of what kind of stones do you have?
