DUMBASS of the DAY!
Hey drug mules: If you’ve misplaced or lost - or STOLEN - $20,000 in drug money, you probably shouldn’t ask the police to write a note to your drug cartel explaining what happened.
Let’s go to Tuscon, where a 30-year-old working for a drug cartel had just handed a suitcase full of cash to his dealers, and was at the airport waiting for another shipment when he got a text, saying the suitcase was $20,000 short.
Uh oh.
Worried that he was about to be WHACKED, dude called police and asked if they could write a note to his drug bosses, telling them that they had seized the money.
Yes, a guy involved in drug trafficking is asking the police to write a bogus note to his employers. I'm sure this was a well-thought out idea.
Rather than lie to protect this drug courier, officers arrested him suspicion of money laundering and racketeering.
Then they SEARCHED one of his suitcases, and found $17,000 cash in one of his jeans, and found $3,000 cash in his wallet.
So dude tried to scam his dealers, THEN he tried to scam the police into writing a bogus note to his dealers.
End result? He's in jail - and there's probably STILL a hit out on him.
