Maricopa County kicks ass. Big drug bust, illegals involved. DUH
Even a "Corrections Officer" got busted, Good, put him on the other side of the bars, jerk.
Get 'em, Sheriff Joe. Thank you, law-enforcement.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has arrested six members of a family, including an Arizona Department of Corrections officer, following a methamphetamine bust in west Phoenix.
A routine traffic stop was made and detectives discovered four pounds of pure methamphetamine inside the car.
Two people in the vehicle were taken into custody, including the undocumented immigrant driver, 55-year-old Domingo Ruiz.
One of the people arrested Ruiz’s son Neo Ruiz, a corrections officer at the Lewis Prison Complex in Buckeye.
Arpaio said Neo worked at the Lewis Prison for seven years.
Also arrested were Maria Ruiz-Ochoa, 27, Humberto Ruiz, 29, Ruben Ruiz, 22, and Javier Serrano-Garcia, 19.
MCSO officials said the sting also led investigators to Ohio and South Dakota where they found more Meth, Cocaine and cash.
These seizures included 35 pounds of methamphetamine, 12 pounds of cocaine, and $200,000, all allegedly tied to the Ruiz family drug business.
