Francisco Hernandez, 24, Maury Gonzalez, 22, and Saul Rodriguez, 22, all got busted by federal agents in a undercover drug investigation, the bust yielded five kilograms (Bricks) of heroin.<\/p>\n
Francisco was the first to crack as he pled guilty this month to drug trafficking and attempted trafficking in heroin by transportation.<\/p>\n
Francisco was sentenced to 103-145 months in prison. The other suspects’ cases are pending.<\/p>\n
In August 2017, special agents from the Department of Homeland Security, detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the Pineville Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arranged to purchase a large amount of heroin from Francisco in Pineville, NC.<\/p>\n
After making contact with Francisco, undercover detectives told the suspects to deliver the heroin to a specific site.<\/p>\n
But unbeknownst to the drug dealers, the site was under surveillance by federal authorities. Francisco, Maury, and Saul arrived at the pre-arranged location with the drugs in new model high-end vehicles. Federal agents wasted no time taking down all three suspects once they entered the site.<\/p>\n
These arrests led to the seizure of more than 5 kilograms of heroin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
