Traffic stop finds $6 million of fentanyl hidden in spare tire

- RUSSELLVILLE, ARKANSAS - On September 28, 2017, Arkansas State Police Trooper Chris Goodman conducted a traffic stop in Russellville, Arkansas when he observed a silver Hyundai Santa Fe driving on and then crossing the center-line divider of Interstate 40. Heriberto Felix Ruiz was the front seat passenger, and - having rented the car two days earlier in California - his name was on the car's rental agreement. When the driver of the car and Ruiz gave conflicting stories to Trooper Goodman, he responded by asking for permission to search their vehicle. This conversation happened in Spanish, and Ruiz consented to the search.
Trooper Goodman ultimately found six packages wrapped in duct tape and hidden in the vehicle’s spare tire‚ which he had noticed was a 15-inch tire despite the vehicle requiring 17-inch tires. The packages turned out to contain more than 15 pounds of fentanyl, which had a street value of more than $6 million.
In November 2017, a grand jury charged Ruiz with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl, and then the story took an unexpected turn. 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.
On April 3, 2018, a grand jury charged Ruiz and other in a Superseding Indictment to increase the amount of fentanyl involved in the offense. Ruiz pleaded guilty on October 10, 2019, and on May 21, 2020 United States Chief District Court Judge D. Price Marshall, Jr., sentenced Ruiz to eleven years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

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.
Well said sir.
Thank you for this
this is correct however, the risks of the much more potent carfetynal are very very real

When you get pulled over by a cop with a hat like that, you know you're screwed.
I mean .... YOU might be screwed.
I just say "whaddup cuz?"
"Montana Peak" Stetson style flat brim hat. Worn by all the most hardass cops in Canada and the US
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.

Isn't the guy with the blue shirt a cop as well?
He just handcuffed another guy.
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.
It didn’t save a single live addicts are gonna find another way to get it
Facts There's So Many Ppl Dyin In Cleveland From Laced Weed I Just Got To The Dispensary Myself Now To Make Sure I'm Safe 💯
I agree with you. The one the officer is talking with. Needs no deal or favors. He is in the car so he's as guilty.
It should be the drug addicts responsibility to not kill themselves
This cop is a true professional. He treated everyone with respect and made an effort to talk to people in their language.
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?
@@michelel1852 Shut the f*ck up. There was fentanyl in the car, so who gives a flying f*ck about permission?
@@michelel1852It was all an act. They knew everything before

Why two phones were the same.😮
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.

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
@@JeagerGray 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 :)
When a cop speaks spanish to you with a southern accent, you know you going to jail lol
heh thats why this officer is on the interdiction team. pulling him over was not random.
no it just means theyre from texas
LOL

Best comment ever!!!
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
Yup, on a 18 wheeler
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 we found the bait mule.
@@jwillkens I'm not sure what that means. You think they were planning on this guy getting caught?
@@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.

I will help you if you help me ?? lol right,, both sides lie.

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.
@@Paradoxisthefingerprintofgod what?
Congrats on your sobriety. Fentanyl is the toughest shit to get off. Been struggling myself for almost ten years now. It is exhausting.
Straight up tip off. There’s no way this trooper just had a “gut feeling” and KNEW about the spare tire and everything else.
The search was illegal under Arkansas law, these people all walked in court.
@@92poophatch Not true. "Arizona Man Sentenced to Eleven Years in Prison for Fentanyl Worth Over $6 Million"
@@92poophatch False. I’m from Arkansas, and this was a legit stop.
No, this trooper has just seen this a hundred times and just knew.
@@mitchellturnbull3988 The spare was 15" and the wheel was 17". That was a huge clue.
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.
Him noticing the 15" spare tire on a vehicle with 17" tires epic...
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
Since then that trooper has probably been promoted and is now the chief of the Police Department
Phenomenal police work.
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...
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
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

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.
It was so smooth I assume it was an operation the feds set up.

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.
They were tipped off
@@elijahgavin6706 exactly
Yeah it blows my mind how these people are even chosen. This guy could blow a lot of people's cover by being stupid
It’s possible that these guys that are getting pulled over is distracting the real mules that are passing through 🤷🏻♂️
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.
Cop: "two phones?"
Perp: "Friend, woman"
Best excuse ever.
Apparently not the best excuse ever lol
No fuera un guero porque ni lo molestan
Actually its very comon for a cheating man to have an extra phone for the mistress or other girls he has on the side.
Personal, Business
Is what he should've said
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 amazed that one cop managed to arrest three men all by himself without violence.
Its crazy how when nobody resists, nobody gets hurt
I know I was so worried for him being by himself.
Troopers have a way of controlling situations, not like a " city cop "
Great job, Arkansas State Police Trooper Chris Goodman and all police officers thank you! Always be safe!! 11 years it is not enough.
This is why I always buy my spare tires from a reputable source.
This is why I don't.
Why? I mean if you get lucky and get one of these special fentanyl filled tires you can become a millionaire! Win win!
Would be awful finding 6 mil in a spare tire wouldn't it.... wait
LOL
$6 million in cash would be great !
6 million in dope 🤮 no thanks !
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.
The driver became fluent in English when the cuffs went on …it’s a MIRACLE!!
It's hard to imagine how many ways people are capable of messing up their lives.
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.
I did meth once and saw god. I NEVER touched it again because nothing that lets you see god is going to be good for you.

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

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”

Makes you wonder how many innocent people are out there driving vehicles bought at auction containing drugs the cops failed to find. Scary.
Imagine being the person/s that hired these guys to drive this load and then being able to watch this whole situation unfold on TH-cam and know exactly what went down
My exact thoughts. Poor guy is gonna be touched over this
it was a setup you know how many other cars they missed while pulling this guy over?
@@shucheng4748 That's a great point. Like he's the fall guy.
Lmao they would just have them killed
it’s a trap car lol
How many lives they saved with taking this from this man is unthinkable
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.
My deep appreciation to these Cops 👮♀️!! Well done
Much appreciated officer's 👏🏽 ! You saved so much lives keeping that junk off the streets .
He wasn't driving on the center line. Smokey saw those California plates and said to himself, let's check this guy out.
They should treat Oregon and Texas the same.
Absolutely 💯
Because they were tipped off this vehicle and these guys were carrying drugs on board, they didn't stand a chance.
I never saw him driving on center line
@@sophiajoyceferry7150 Right, they were tipped off ain’t no way in hell he knew to look for no drugs in the spare tire. He knew by who they are they didn’t know their rights. A simple ticket for allowing a non driver to drive and that’s it.
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
That’s good. Might have saved the lives of some people.
@@Harley08 I’d lean towards definitely saved lives. Fentanyl is a real killer.

@@mfff5491 you don't need none of that man. Some weed is ok. But pills are bad and most coke now is .01%. Cocaine
I can't believe the trooper let the driver get out and open the back hatch. God bless that's he didn't get taken advantage of. Be safe.
Troopers are never in a rush. Its almost like the more patience they display, the more the criminals present.
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.

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.
They must not have heard the saying “If you’re going to break a law, don’t break more than one at a time”
Yup, having an unlicensed driver and driving erratically didn't do much for their cause. I'm surprised they weren't armed with such a big load.
It actually goes as so.. "Dont break the law while your breaking the law"
@@user-zt7zk5ll6d I've heard it, "if you're going to break the law, don't do anything illegal while you're doing it."
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.
That was my first thought when I heard he was unlicensed
This stop was not legal.

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.
“Driving down the center-line” my ass. That cop had inside information.
Exactly totally bs
So what now?
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.
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"
It says the guy only got 11 yrs. I was like damn. Bc the dude ratted most likely
@@Atrainswrld Exactly what happened. It's the own cartels fault for making death threats for the mishaps. These guys are now seeking protection.
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.
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.
Thank you for your services 🙏
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.
California plates in Arkansas lol! You’re getting stopped for even the most minor infraction, bud 🤣😂
I'm Officer Ruinyourday, and I'm stopping you for GP.
General Principal.
Even if they have to make one up
No kidding. Happens all the time to me with my trailer.
I drove around Oklahoma for a over a year and not once had anyone give me trouble
Probably cause I’m white lol
God damn I love being white
I appreciate how the one tropper covered the other trooper as he went under the vehicle...very dangerous situation and he had sense to cover his partners six!
Lovin' this smart officer he knows the game these hussler's play, patient polite gradually getting to the truth getting the garbage off the streets and jailing these criminals. 🤗🇺🇸
You can clearly see the cop already has detective with him, hence they already knew this car was driving dirty
If youre pulled over by a detective then somebody's snitched.
It was a ride along civilian not a detective.
He was speeding look at the odometer on the video guy was going above 80+.
@@spaghettibeans He handcuffed the other two guys.
@@spaghettibeans A civilian with handcuffs?
I lost one of my best friends to fentanyl. I’m glad these guys got caught because it definitely saved some peoples lives
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.
@@um8440 We are populated. That is true. However, going out like that though? It's very sad man. It'll leave a scar on your heart forever.
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...
Cops also take innocent lives on a daily basis.
Both are life threatening.
Both suck.
Same fentanyl killed one of mine as well. Fuck opiate addiction
Geez, after 40 minutes we didn’t even get to see a picture of the drugs?
There are people who would have died had it not been for this find. Sadly, they’ll never know how close they came.
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
Camp lejune?
@@Acm075 I was lucky enough to do both Lejeune and Pendleton
I also got stopped in arkansas traveling from st.louis to tunica . them troopers in arkansas dont be bullshitting
Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi are all 3rd world countries tucked into the US
@@jackdeez3290 😂
Imagine how many people would die from that shipment.
And still will cause honestly what do u think they did with it?
If the trooper sliced the bag and got wind of it..he’d be done
Legalize drugs. Would get rid of this shit. Nobody wants it except money hungry cartels using it as a cheap counterfeit substitute and cut.
@@EoCx1 exactly nobody would buy that shit if there were options.
@@EoCx1 wait. Nobody wants what? Drugs to be illegal I guess you’re saying right?
I find the officer’s sixth sense amazing - knowing something is off. Of all the cars on the road, he pulls this one over, amazing how that happens. God bless all officers who protect and serve with such h on or.
Don't be naive. These deputies clearly knew what to look for
That were looking for that car. They already knew but they play dumb kn purpose
Yeah, Mexicans without license and 2 phones in Arkansas driving a rental? Perfectly normal.. 6th sense./.. lol
Something you never want to hear from the police is “I would like to help u. Would u like to help me?”🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
When your high school Spanish actually comes in handy.
Hahaha
💀😂😂😂
😂😂
Gold!!! Hahah 🤣
For real 🤣🤣 it definitely came in handy when I was down in the south
He's got 2 phones one for the plug one for the load.
🤣🤣🤣👌
Hes talking about a rapper named Kevin Gates
Lol
Lmaoooo…. 🤫
One for the bitches, one for the dope
Amazing intuition and police work
Never carry two phones when trafficking smh
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
@@frickedyourgirlfriend3678 you need to do some research if you think the police are more dangerous than a drug cartel
@@retrogwuap5243 his name screams “I’m saying frick because my mom’s around and will get mad if I say fuck” 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
Lol !
Get their stories straight?
Better idea...
Don't answer questions.
@@sigmapge1398 and still go to jail lmao
@@natechester1 But they might get out or not even be charged if they keep.tgeir moufs shut.
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!
Wow! That trooper was so fortunate not to be over exposed to that scary stuff! Thank God for protecting him! ❤
Well he didn’t snort it. Don’t really need God’s protection from a drug you didn’t take.
@@YubertTubert
You don’t need to snort it. It can be absorbed through the skin or if the airborne powder is inhaled.
@@islandiron You might wanna do your research.
@@islandironthat's a myth that's been proven wrong.
@@YubertTubert
I stand corrected.
Wow. Great exceptional work. With the name GOODNAN he has to be a good man. Thank you, and all for the other Officers. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍❤
This guy didn't know enough to help himself but said enough to incriminate himself...
@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. 👎🏽
Man I'd be so upset at the garage that sold me that spare tire
😂
They never give you a full size tire too
@@chrisolson3240 That should of been the first red flag! A full size tire.
When was the last time you guys bought a new car? 🤣🤣🤣 because the spare that comes with the 2014+ Chrysler 200/300s are full sized
Lmfao
Good job officer for having that eye to spot out those vehicles on the interstate!
Cop was tipped well.
Made the world more perfect, hypothetically.
This was a tip, guaranteed. I didn't see him driving over the line at all. He went right to this car, someone ratted you guys out.
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
When the officer started speaking Spanish, dude probably shit himself 😂
He was so ready to play the “QuÉ?!” card but it back fired in the best way ever lmaooo
yooo on everything lmao
Lmaoo
Hey beautiful.
@@Since_84 oof, down bad
They need to put these people behind bars at least 20 years...
They knew something was in there before they even stopped
