California duo nabbed with $1M stash of fentanyl pills at JFK Airport hotel
[NYPOST] Two Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, men were busted with a stash of 32,000 fentanyl pills worth $1 million inside a John F. Kennedy Airport hotel this week, authorities said Wednesday.
Roodolph Pierre-Lys, 33, and Uriel Barajas-Valencia, 50, were taken into custody Monday following a multi-agency drug-trafficking probe, New York City Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan said in a blurb.
Authorities said Barajas-Valencia orchestrated the delivery of the deadly pills to New York.
Both men were arraigned Tuesday in Manhattan Criminal Court on first- and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and ordered held on $50,000 cash bail or a $100,000 bond, Brennan’s office said.
"In recent weeks, working with our law enforcement partners, we have seized hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills and deprived suppliers of millions of dollars," Brennan said in a statement.
