In what is being calling a “historic” drug bust, a Bronx man arrested for transporting 3 kilos of pure fentanyl, according to law enforcement officials But police said they had trouble identifying the suspect because of something he did to his body
Donnelly made the announcement of the mega drug bust along with Nassau Police Chief Patrick Ryder and County Executive Bruce BlakemanThe man arrested for trafficking the drugs is Juan Cruz, police said, a 50-year-old from the Bronx. Nassau officials said he's a major drug dealer, and detectives stopped him thanks to a tip. But Cruz had his own tricks to avoid being identified right away.
"When we went to fingerprint him, he had burnt the fingerprints off his hands, so we could not identify him. So no priors because we don't have the proper identification," said Ryder. "We'll come down hard on any dealers of illegal drugs in this county selling kilos of poison in our communities, selling to our children and families," Donnely said.
The fentanyl seized is valued at $60,000. The reason it's considered to be such a big bust is that fentanyl gets mixed with other drugs, and even a small amount can lead to a deadly overdose.
