Pico Rivera Man Who Tattooed Crime on Chest Allegedly Involved in Jail Drug Ring
A man was recently convicted of murder after his chest tattoos indicated that he had been involved in a murder that took place outside a Pico Rivera liquor store in 2004. Now, detectives allege that the man is involved in a drug-smuggling ring in the Los Angeles County Jail, distributing heroin and methamphetamines to fellow prisoners, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Los Angeles County detectives claim that while they were investigating the man’s connection to the liquor store murder, they discovered a conspiracy among the man, his mother, his brother, a fellow prisoner, and the prisoner’s girlfriend to sneak drugs into the county jail. Police claim that when the man’s co-conspirator and fellow prisoner arrived at the jail to begin serving his sentence related to a separate felony, he was smuggling heroin and methamphetamine. The man, along with the others whom police say are involved in the drug-smuggling ring, has been charged with a felony. Sheriff’s detectives claim that all five people were involved in the plan to smuggle drugs into the jail, but they say they have not yet figured out how each of the five people planned to smuggle the drugs in or distribute them once they arrived.
