Local investigation penetrates Mexico - Idaho heroin ringAda County, Idaho Sheriff´s detectives say they are thrilled that a two-year multiagency investigation into a Mexico-to-Idaho heroin ring led to 15 arrests this summer, but they know they have more work to do.
The arrests and seizure of more than $175,000 worth of drugs in June put a dent in that organization and should help in the continued goal of making Ada County, Idaho unfriendly turf for dealers, officials involved in the bust said this week.
“We realize this is a long process, and we are going to keep plugging away,” said Ada County, Idaho Sgt. Mike Rowe, who supervises the undercover detectives who worked the case. “We knew from the get-go if we weren´t doing this, these dealers would be running amok. We´re fighting it.”
U.S. Attorney Ralph Gonzalez, who is prosecuting some of the 15 people arrested, said several “cells” (groups of suppliers and runners) of the loosely defined heroin organization were neutralized by the busts, putting a “significant dent in the retail heroin market.”
“Someone will come in to fill the vacuum, but they are aware of our tactics,” Gonzalez said. “We are going to continue to arrest (dealers).”
The man prosecutors say was the dealers´ boss, Florentino Villegas-Delgadillo, 39, pleaded guilty in September to three federal charges, including conspiracy to distribute heroin and methamphetamine and distribution of heroin. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend a prison sentence of between eight and 10 years, which is within the federal guidelines.
Rowe said the arrests stemmed from an investigation started by his detectives in September 2001.
It took almost two years of undercover work — making drug purchases and getting to know the drug runners and mid-level members of the organization — before any arrests were made, he said.
Rowe said the drug ring worked like this:
The heroin was manufactured near Tepic in the state of Nayarit, a coastal region in central Mexico north of Puerto Vallarta. Members of the organization took the drugs to Ontario, Ore., where either “black tar” or brown powder heroin was cut into amounts the size of peas, then wrapped in plastic and balloons. The runners — people who sell the drugs directly to users — put the little balloons, sometimes between 50 and 100 at a time, into their mouths so that they could be swallowed immediately if they were pulled over by police.
The runners often had bottles of water handy to help wash down the balloons at any sign of trouble. In general, if heroin runners have to swallow balloons, they can either go to a safe place to regurgitate them or let them pass through their systems for recovery later, undercover detectives who worked the case said.
Rowe said the runners busted in the local investigation made 30 to 50 deliveries a day. The balloons sold for $20 to $30 each; runners made up to $3,000 or $4,000 a day, undercover detectives said.
Customers called the runners on their cell phones, setting up meetings in public places such as parking lots. At that point, the runners would spit out the number of balloons a customer needed and moved on, detectives said. If they ran out of drugs, the runners would either go back to home base for more or meet someone halfway to resupply, Rowe said.
All that mobility required investigators to exhaustively document the purchases, according to federal indictment and plea agreement records.
“With all these moving parts, it´s like a shell game,” Gonzalez said.
Graduates of Ada County, Idaho Drug Court who are former heroin users say that description of the drug business is accurate.
“They would drive around looking like chipmunks with their cheeks full of balloons,” said Danny, a recovering heroin user who declined to give his last name. “They just have it in their mouths. A couple of times I would see them with bottles of water.”
“Sometimes there would be 10 people waiting in a parking lot.”
The undercover detectives who worked the case said last week they put in a lot of time getting close to the dealers.
The primary detective had to develop the trust of the drug runners by hanging out, being friendly and buying small amounts of drugs on a consistent basis, Rowe said.
Once the undercover officer established himself, he began asking to meet the suppliers, usually over a complaint about price or quality of the drugs.
Surveillance was done on the buys and meetings, producing recordings that were used as evidence to prosecute drug-ring members. Many of the drug purchases are documented in court records.
One example: On Sept. 9, 2002, one of the undercover officers asked a drug runner whether he could talk to his boss to request a price cut on methamphetamine. A short time later, Villegas-Delgadillo called the officer and agreed to knock $50 off the price of an ounce of meth, according to court records.
On Sept. 11, the officer called Villegas-Delgadillo to confirm the price. The next day, the officer bought the drugs at that price.
According to his plea agreement, Villegas-Delgadillo admitted that he and his co-defendants conspired to sell heroin and methamphetamine in southwestern Idaho between October 2001 and June 2003.
He will be sentenced in 6th District Federal Court in December. Other court documents detail several different purchases recorded between undercover detectives and members of the group.
Rowe and Gonzalez said they were pleased to make the busts, but heroin use in the Boise, Idaho area remains a problem.
“It´s kind of like a dirty little secret,” Gonzalez said. “There´s a hard core group of users.”
