Leonard Garcia WTF!!!!
KCBD - NewsChannel 11 / Lubbock, TX: Authorities Arrest Members of Lubbock To El Paso Cocaine Ring
Thirteen members of an alleged drug trafficking organization are off Lubbock streets after a four-year investigation. Authorities say the cocaine ring spans from El Paso to the Hub City.
Ten people arrested during those raids Thursday and we're told they will all end up at the Lubbock County Jail.
The roundup started early Thursday morning with a bust in the 1500 block of 23rd Street. The Drug Enforcement Administration led the operation. Lubbock Police, Lubbock Sheriff's Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety assisted along with several other area agencies.
Federal indictments allege that all who were arrested have conspired to sell cocaine going back to as early as 2001. Authorities also executed seven search warrants in both Lubbock and Lynn Counties on Thursday.
Our cameras also caught a bust at an apartment in the 7200 block of 73 Street. It's allegedly linked to the cocaine ring as well.
The U.S. District Attorney's Office says that operation seized about two kilograms of cocaine along with drug trafficking paraphernalia, firearms and money.
Three other suspects were taken into custody prior to Thursday morning. El Paso authorities tell us John Patrick Morales II was arrested Wednesday night.
NewsChannel 11 has learned one of those arrested is mixed martial arts fighter Leonard Garcia. He was arrested Tuesday in allege connection with the cocaine ring. Garica is currently ranked sixth in the featherweight class in MMA. He has fought in UFC and Ultimate Fighting championships.
One other suspect is already in custody in the Lamb County. If convicted, three of those arrested could face up to 40 years in prison and up to a $2 million fine. The others could face up to life in prison and up to a $ 4 million fine.
Those accused were named in five federal indictments that were unsealed Thursday morning. All but one of those named in the indictments has been arrested.
Unreal.

Good fighter and we might not ever see him perform again. Bad move on his part.

As Alonzo said in "Training Day"
You're Federally ****ed now!
40 years and 2 million in fines? This is what happens to you whent he feds and local/state law enforcement team up. You're screwed!

I hope that the "alleged" criminal turns out to be innocent. I like Garcia. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, but it looks bad.

What is there to judge? The guy was investigated for 4 years and was targeted and arrested by the DEA. He was obviously involved in some shape or form.

Hah !! I would have bet my left nut that you would respond and quote me too. It is not my place to judge him. I do not know the circumstances, or events surrounding any of this. I do not know Leonard or his life, therefore I do not judge, but knowing your MO...... Lets leave the judging to the Judges.. You even said it " If true " So, don't judge...
