Son of Known Gulf Cartel Associate Arrested for Threatening DEA Agent

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat


The son of a man associated with the Gulf Cartel was arrested by federal agents after authorities say he intimidated a government witness following a hearing on May 9, according to a criminal complaint.

Hector “Torito” Reyes Jr., son of Hector Reyes Sr., who is known as “Padrino” and is part of a transnational criminal organization that is “affiliated with and under the control of the Cartel Del Gulfo,” was arrested on Tuesday for obstruction of justice.

On May 9, a Drug Enforcement Administration special agent was testifying at a detention hearing for Reyes Sr.’s girlfriend, Liliana Resendez, when the agent noticed Reyes Jr. sitting in the courtroom.

Following the hearing, the agent was walking to his official government vehicle and saw Reyes Jr. and another man, later identified as Humberto Estrada, standing near the rear of the vehicle.

As the agent approached his vehicle, he noticed both Reyes Jr. and Estrada staring at him and continued staring as he entered the vehicle.

A few moments later, Reyes Jr. walked near the vehicle and spit toward it, according to the complaint.

He then entered another vehicle with Estrada and continued to stare until they departed the parking lot.

On May 12, both the agent and a United States Marshal Service deputy reviewed the surveillance video depicting the incident.

The video showed Reyes Jr. and Estrada were seated in a vehicle until the special agent neared the parking lot. Their vehicle was positioned to the rear of the agent’s vehicle.

On May 19, DEA agents reviewed recorded jail calls between Reyes Sr. and Reyes Jr. from a few hours after the detention hearing where they discussed the incident where Reyes Jr. states the agent “got scared.”

“And then… I mean, I left, and he came after me… and I changed lanes, and he would change lanes,” a transcript of the conversation in the criminal complaint said.

Reyes Sr. then said that he’s “not even what they say” he is to which Reyes Jr. stated that authorities are using a Snapchat video Reyes Sr. made and Reyes Jr. posted in early April as evidence of intimidating government witnesses.

On April 4, Reyes Jr. posted a video on Snapchat that depicted multiple handheld radios transmitting an audio message in Spanish along with text that read, “A message for those that are searching up there,” according to the criminal complaint.

The complaint provides a translated transcript of the video which states that a man who self-identified as “Commander Metro Siete” said that he was giving authorities searching for “Padrino” an ultimatum and threatening them to “stand down” while they still had time.

Since June 2020, multiple U.S. government agencies have been investigating the organization Reyes Sr. is allegedly involved in.

According to the complaint, the investigation has resulted in the seizure of about 727 pounds of methamphetamine, 77,161 pounds of marijuana, 132 pounds of cocaine and over $2.1 million in assets and currency resulting in the federal arrests of over 30 people.

Reyes Jr. was scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge J. Scott Hacker for his initial appearance Thursday morning.

  1. You cannot threaten American Agents ! (Osiel Cardenas) There are consequences , Unless you are also working with the CIA Special Activities Center ( Félix Ismael Rodríguez Mendigutia ) then the american agent pays the price for doing his duty ( ,Kiki Camarena )

    6. The safest way to get at a cop without crossing the line and risking arrest: association.
      Ex.
      Me: “Mr Officer, you remind me a lot of my dad.”
      Cop: “And how’s that?”
      Me: “he was a complete fawking prick with zero to offer until the day he died”.

      I should probably go see the head doctor…some shit bubbling up

    7. No he didn't. Che was executed on order of the state he was captured in. Rodriquez only handed him over as per international law and told them he wanted him alive. Left the cabin and heard a gunshot. He spent about an hour with Che before they wacked him

  4. What did that do? That Jr is an idiot. If you are going to try an intimidate a government employee that isn't going to do anything might as well take care of it. They had him in their sights. If you see your enemy pull out the strap and take care of it. If you want to do prison time do it if not you know what to do.

    2. If the agent reported it as intimidating actions, then he was intimidated. If not , why report anything. People are quick to see intimidating gestures or whatever you want to call it. All I read about was a guy who was mad at the agent for ,I assume, testifing. If he calls that intimidating then he's soft as hell. The guy didn't even say anything towards him. Scary ass agent

    3. @3:35 I need the facepalm emoji for you. He reported it... because it's a crime. Because the INTENT was to intimidate. Because LE and the judicial system take any type of attempted interference pretty seriously.

    2. @5:00 air running thin in mommy's basement? Snitch? You don't even know what snitching is. He's a fed agent, his job is to investigate and...wait for it...testify as to his investigation in court! That's not snitching lol. Finally, he's reporting a crime. He does not have to be afraid, but the intent was clear. You don't approach witnesses. Period.
