"Socalj" for Borderland Beat
 |
| Another arrest has been made in connection with a cartel stash house shootout in 2021 that left a beloved Union County teacher and another man dead. |
Santana Monique Stewart, 43, was arrested in March and charged with obstruction of justice. She is Steven Alexander Stewart’s wife, who has already been charged in the shooting. Steven is also Union Academy Spanish teacher and coach Barney Harris’s brother-in-law, who was killed in the shootout.
On April 8, 2021, as reported by Borderland Beat, Harris and Steven Stewart went to a mobile home park on Wyatt Road in Green Level, North Carolina to steal money and drugs from a Sinaloa Cartel stash house. Detectives said Harris and Steven Stewart broke into a trailer and Alonso Beltran Lara, 18, who was an alleged member of the cartel, showed up while they were inside. Deputies said the men questioned Lara about the stash and when he didn’t give them the answers they wanted, they shot him in the head.
Investigators said that after the pair killed Lara, other members of the cartel showed up and Harris was killed in the gunfight that followed. Steven Stewart survived the shooting and was arrested days later on charges of first-degree burglary, first-degree murder, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Gar-yon-ded-weh Stepney, 41, who was wanted for months in connection with the shooting, was also arrested in July 2021 and charged with first-degree murder.
In March, Steven Stewart’s wife, Santana Stewart, was arrested for allegedly providing false statements to investigators, as well as deleting text messages between herself and her husband on the day of the shooting. An arrest warrant said she also picked up her husband after the deadly shootout but told deputies that she didn’t know anything about what happened and was home that night.
No other details have been released at this point.

Barney Harris teacher by day, stash house robber by night.
ReplyDeleteJames Brown sorry Barney died in the shootout.
Ol' Barney went down like a Viking. If you're going to rob, rob the big dogs.

DeleteBarney Harris was wearing a bullet proof vest, Wonder what part of the body he was shot.
You shouldn't rob period you go to Brazil for that.
DeleteWhich lame ass would go to rob in Brazil, when the big money is in USA. Robbing a criminal drug house is better than robbing stores. The criminals are not going to call 911, that thier money and drugs have been stolen.
Delete4:55 lame ass sorry does not deserve credibility for the racist nuanced slant,
ReplyDeleteI am sure you applaud george Zimmerman's freedom while being sorry for his murder of Tryvon Martin buy not sorry Trayvon is dead.
10:44 you are no patriot, pinche culo de mierda, just like zimmerman was NO captain of the neighborhood watch...
DeleteHe was robbing a big dog Cartel the Sinaloa cartel, people had said it was cjng safehouses he and his buddy were robbing. Because Barney died in the shootout, his buddy that survived is being charged with murder.
ReplyDeleteSteven Stewart is being charged with murder bc he tied-up, beat and tortured, then executed Alonso Lara. Barney would have gotten similar charges, had he survived the ordeal. I'm from the area where Barney workedand "word on the streets" is that he was smoking hard (Crack cocaine) for the past year or 2 prior and that his brother in kae Steven was the bad influence who brought it around, then led him astray down a grimy criminal path.
DeleteThese dumb Mfers probably had their cell phones on them when they were committing the crime
ReplyDeleteSo what you carry yours all over the place, you even use it when the teacher is giving a lecture, so no big deal twig.
Delete2:51 carrying the phone all over the place, even while in on the WC Tolido and spreading the crap all over is ok, what your compa means is many criminals get located by that...
DeleteCriminals 101 today
Sir but the Pendejo did not explain that instead he beat around the bush and expect bus to read his mind. He would not be a good book writer.
DeleteAt 740 que menso.
DeleteI thought it was a CJNG stash house and members??? From what I remember you guys and another site or two said it was CJNG. Not anymore I guess
ReplyDeleteMr humble opinion I also thought it was a Cjng safehouse that was reportedly robbed, I have to go back and review the papers. Perhaps cjng paid the newspaper to say SINALOA cartel. Barney Harris teaching days in high school long gone.
