HENRY CO.,Va. (WDBJ) -
A federal grand jury sitting in U.S. District Court in Harrisonburg has
indicted 12 members of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), a Mexican-based
criminal organization considered by the Department of Justice to be one of the
five most dangerous transnational organizations in the world, on federal drug
conspiracy charges, United States Attorney Thomas T. Cullen announced today.
In an indictment
returned under seal on March 5, 2019, and unsealed Monday, following the
initial court appearance of two defendants, the grand jury charges:
1. Ramon
Carillo-Ruvalcaba, a.k.a. “The Barber” one count of conspiracy to distribute
and possess with the intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
2. Eduardo
Contreras-Devora, one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the
intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana and one count of possession
of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
3. Daniel
Gomez-Barajas, one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the
intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
4. Roman
Idearte-Bolanos, one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the
intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
5. Alberto Jijon, one
count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute
cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
6. Miguel Angel
Patricio-Cajero, one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the
intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
7. Isdro
Ramos-Bojorquez, a.k.a. “Chilo” one count of conspiracy to distribute and
possess with the intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
8. Jesus Rogelio
Ramirez, a.k.a. “Jesse” one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with
the intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
9. Jonathan
Rocas-Osorio, a.k.a. “Oscar Osorio-Munoz” one count of conspiracy to distribute
and possess with the intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
10. Ana Bella
Sanchez-Rios, one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent
to distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana and one count of money laundering.
11. Ritchie Triplett,
one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute
cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
12. Ernesto
Valenzuela-Flores, a.k.a. “Juan Flores-Arrellano” one count of conspiracy to
distribute and possess with the intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, and
marijuana.
According to the
indictment, between January 2015 and February 2019, the defendants trafficked
multiple kilograms of cocaine, heroin and marijuana from Mexico into the United
States. As part of the alleged conspiracy, CJNG members recruited individuals from
Mexico to reside in Axton and Winchester, Virginia to facilitate the
distribution of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
The conspiracy alleges
that the defendants lived in several homes in and around Axton for the purpose
of receiving, storing, packaging, and distributing multiple kilograms of
cocaine and multiple pounds of marijuana.
According to the
indictment, the defendants had received directly from members of CJNG. The
drugs were then allegedly shipped to Winchester, and elsewhere throughout the
Mid-Atlantic region, for redistribution.
"For a long time,
all the agencies, have known and been watching a lot of drug activity in the
East end of the county," said Henry County Sheriff, Lane Perry.
Kim Way Drive in Henry
County is where one member, Ramon Carillo-Ruvalcaba, lived at one point
according to former arrest warrants.
According to Sheriff
Perry, activity also occurred on Barker Drive in Axton.
"There were a lot
of drugs, there was money, and weapons throughout the course of the
investigation and with it, it will take some of those things out of the
area," said Perry.
"It is in a rural
part of the county, in the Sandy level area, and its right on the North
Carolina border, so there is easy access to Virginia and North Carolina,"
said Dr. J David Martin, a member of the Henry County Board of Supervisors who
represents the Axton community.
Martin says thanks to
law enforcement the men and women involved in the cartel are no longer a danger
to other residents.
"I don't know what
led to it but we're very hopeful that this is the ending of it," said
Perry.
A Grand Jury Indictment
is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. The defendants are entitled to a
fair trial with the burden on the government to prove guilt beyond a reasonable
doubt.

Chapo snitched
ReplyDeleteLmaooooo yall really still on his nuts? Nah they are just sloppy they are always getting caught in the us
DeleteEvery cartel from Mexico has individuals in the states working for them.
DeleteBut los Jalisco are deep in California!
America's insatiable appetite for drugs.
ReplyDeleteAmericans can't live without their drugs!
It's a free country, we get addicted, thanks to the endless supply. We keep your cartels in business, thereby everyone is killing each other.
Delete8:50
DeleteNobody is getting indicted for America's Insatiable Drug Appetite.
--Ape shit should be indicted for having a big mouth,
but finding him would be a problem, he only appears in mirrors
Very strange that CJNG is a specialized methamphetamine cooking and trafficking cartel, are you sure they diversified or someone hanging the wrong placa on this sect?
DeleteNo fentanyls either, worng picshure.
8:50 AFIRMATIVO AMIGO, aky donde vivo en unos apts de 4 units,, zoy el uniko MEXICAN ke no usa droga, le atizan gacho pero bueno es PEDO de elloz,, LA NETA NO TIENEN VIDA.
DeleteWe should dedicate a whole isolated state to drug consumers and dealers. Then the rest of us could live in peace.
DeleteWe need it just like we need our Starbucks coffee
Delete🦐
America is definitely a party country. No denying that. But lets be real plenty of Americans don't use drugs just like plenty of Mexicans are not in a cartel.
Delete@12:02 good thought but that will solve nothing. Its the money flowing to mexico and other countries thats a problem for the us thats why we have a drug war.
Delete5:45 money flows from the US, but not to the campesinos or the maruchaneros, after paying commissions in the US, almost no money flows to LatinAmerica, weapons and equipment does, but the elementos must make doo with what they got, and cooperate with narcos and cartels. It is all mirrors and smokes and Trojan horses
DeleteTIL cartels still deal pot in the states
ReplyDeleteI've always said Cartels are still in the game growing Kush even though some U.S. States have legalized it but still have to compete with cheaper labor and electricity bills in Mexico.
DeleteThat's something that needs to be investigated. Has Mexican weed improved?
Delete4:04 come on most people think all Mexican weed is dirt weed. Not all weed from Mexico is dirt.
Delete9:32 - Yes it is lol
DeleteCJNG taking over
ReplyDeleteThis cell is just one of many others who pollute poison onto communities for financial purposes. Reaping the benefits of the weak minded people who consume.
ReplyDeleteBB Chivis and Sol Prendido: Thanks for posting this important story. It, yet again provides another piece of the puzzle of illicit drugs from Mexico to the USA.
ReplyDeleteI used Google Earth and information in the article to explore the places mentioned. I noted how strategically astute these CJNG members located themselves in the region. The little town of Axton, VA is like a rural nondescript town that can be a considered a "hub" location with spokes to many larger towns and cities in the region close by.
I have no idea what "cover" functions these 12 CJNG members used to avoid detection by LE. (I'd love to know more about their social functions and bios).
A couple of points I'd like to 3 points about what I got from the article:
1. The USA is dealing with a powerful "thinking" organism.
2. Given how CJNG shows its powerful and violent ways in Mexico, it is scary to think what will happen in the USA if these kinds of criminals continue to spread throughout the USA.
3. The CJNG will repair itself (if it hasn't already) and continue operations. The 12 members are expendable units , part of doing business. Doubtless, there are many replacements ready and willing to take their place.
Mexico-Watcher
Hey scary guy, Mexican cartels, Chinese, cartels Colombian cartels and Italians are all in the U.S.. lol
DeleteNo surprise here, cjng is deep in US. It's an international cartel what would you expect
ReplyDeleteGive those scums the death penalty, they are worthless here and in Mexico lazy MF who don't want to work the honest way thats how their parents raised those scums
ReplyDeleteHow about the user? There the real scum with SCUM parents tbat didn't raise them rite... g.C.
Delete2:51 how about your parents?
DeleteLooks like they did rise you right...
Alcohol is drug, I hope you look down on them too, with that snooty nose of yours.
DeleteSoy mencho guey !
ReplyDeleteAyy! Lol
DeleteSi senor.
Delete1:16 Hey, Mencho, remember when you was la perra de la carcel?
DeleteLet's do it again some time.
Great, these scum bags are all over the US too now.
ReplyDeleteThey among others have been in the US.
DeleteIf not for Americans with their appetite for drugs. These organizations would cease to exist. Rather, go elsewhere for riches.
Facts are that America has an epidemic of all sorts. Getting high is just one.
This guys need to be prepared for long prison terms. Va. is a commonwealth state. They will throw the book their asses
ReplyDeleteThis is peanuts in the grand scheme of things.
ReplyDeleteIn Seattle I had Mexican friends, working guys who also moonlighted if you know what I mean. I floated some half-assed feelers about driving a car, no questions asked. They never got back to me, for which I am thankful.
ReplyDeleteSomeone snitched it could be a play by someone who knew who they worked for maybe CJNG or Nueva Plaza dropping dimes on each other in the states. Similar to what happened to Don Chuy when Nazario, La Tuta, Kike ect. flipped on Don Chuy and snitched on his people in the US and in Mexico. Only Don Chuys people got caught the DEA hit only his people the rest survived unscathed.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is always snitching when a structure of this mid-range is apprehended.
DeleteIts starts with a simple vehicle stop; followed by jail time or cooperate.
Let's not forget the good cop bad cop treatment.
Huh.harrisonburg is Rockingham county. Jus a lil college town.its not rite on the border of n.c either.very close to Winchester tho
