Inhabitants of San Diego are awaiting trial in connection with independent DEA convulsions of fentanyl, meth, and assault rifle.
Amy Lennen and Shannon Pollard are accused of having firearms and possessing with intent to distribute morphine and meth. The charges stem from seizures at a community storage facility and a home in San Diego of 46.1 pounds of methamphetamine, 4, 493 fentanyl pills, four AR- 15 rifles, two AK- 47 rifles, a.22- caliber gun, a crippled grenade and many stolen passports and drivers ‘ licenses next November.
According to federal court records, an accomplice allegedly offered to sell meth at$ 1,300 per pound to a known narcotics seller, prompting the drug enforcement agency to launch an investigation on the women.
The agent claimed that Lennen had told the seller that Natalie, who had given her the medicines, “recruits children to body-carry morphine” and other drugs through Mexico’s port of entry. After agents learned the DEA was already looking into an illegal drug supplier they thought was Pollard, according to records, the DEA also contacted the Carlsbad ( California ) Police Department.  ,
Researchers found two addresses as potential drug repositories: a rental property in San Diego and a backup facility in Oceanside, according to a court order to place a tracking system on a violet Volvo driven by Lennen.
Agencies and local law enforcement raided both places on Nov. 3 and Nov. 8, both, reportedly finding stockpiles of drugs, firearms, ammunition, documents, an ounce of cocaine and 26 Xanax pills, court documents show.
According to a problem affidavit filed in the Southern District of California, Pollard allegedly leased both components under the pseudonym Nathalie Flores. According to records, agents detained Pollard during the research of the rental home after discovering that she had been violating her parole on a past federal cost. On the medicines and weapons fees, Pollard was detained in February, and Lennen was detained once more.
Both people have entered not-guilty, waived their charges, and are awaiting test.
Last year, federal and local law enforcement in San Diego participated in a two-month function to stop the flow of fentanyl and other painful medicines along the borders. Operation Blue Lotus yielded 4, 721 weight of fentanyl and led to the arrest of 200 pirates, criminals and retailers, according to the DEA.
Randy Grossman, who was the Southern District of California’s U.S. Attorney at the time and has since retired to personal training, expressed how” we are an center for methadone smuggling into the United States and we understand the tremendous role that we bear to address this crisis.” Less lethal doses are produced on the streets of San Diego and beyond with every gram of fentanyl we seize and every criminal, trafficker, and seller we bring to fairness.
