Wow, look at all that meth! Eight pounds of it.
That could have kept Eureka tweakers up all weekend!!
Good job ! You just saved 1,000 human lives.
this saved no one!
They will find more…. it’s a junkie mission in life… they will scorer the ends of earth to find more meth. They will rob the gold teeth out of there dead grandma to buy more junk. So no… it has saved no one. Only the next dealer in line to make a profit!
Right before ssi day gonna be alot of methheads freakin out…
Lol, this will be entertaining day for those who love to people watch. To the people watchers…..the zoo opens at midnight!😂
Great news!! Now. Get the emergency rooms and detox places ready. Get support people out in the homeless (etc.) communities to let addicts know there are options for help…. WITHOUT meth!
I wonder if the meth was smuggled across the border by illegal aliens?

Your job is to treat them not to judge them. It does not matter where they’re from, only where they are going. Otherwise, quit…bcuz the other attitude disqualifies you for the job.
Calling it how it is. Don’t get mad at the truth. Disqualifies you from ever being taken seriously, bud.
Lol, you truly think speculating is the same as “calling it as it is?”. Hahaha, you must think everything you read in the internet is true too?! Lol!!!
I’m sorry you’re taking the news so hard Ernestine. Hang in there, more is on the way.

Insured delivery.mules caught.business intact and booming.these pictures make people dream.im from south of chihuahua.i study and inland sea deposit of plant plankton.pervitin,with hitler was distributed in chocolate.the biggest and most spectacular of atrocities are done by poor men that think they can’t exist without “coca”. Thanks for advertising crystal.
They just mix that in with fertilizer and water the pot plants to grow an ever increasing addictive marijuana plant.
On the news it showed how they water it in or spray the meth on the plants to cause people to be addicted, it’s more addictive than crack.
Glad they won’t be spraying any more plants and the world is a safer place.
You’re a fucking idiot. There’s really no other way to put it
Oh I get it you’re joking. Well played
Unfortunately, I think not.
Someone might notice.get mad,get even.by following hierarchy up to a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.
Awesome out standing work dtf ,but now the crazys are gonna be coming out ,but it gonna save alot of lives getting rid of the poison.
Seems like it’s usually Hispanic folks getting busted with the large quantities of heroin and meth. Maybe Trump has an idea how to deal with that.
Damn, did I really say that?
No cherry pickers this year?
Before we go crazy congratulating ourselves:
It’s just like the fields and greenhouses full of un-permitted weed, the DFG and Sheriff jacks some growers but there’s thousands more who get away with their crimes.
Everyone drives over the speed limit, but only a few are cited…
I predict there is plenty of Crystal, and Smack, and that more is arriving, just about now…
Same as killing ants.they see dead as nutrient and reproduce more.coyotes too.
This smuggling crap is off. So is building a wall, that can’t be built. From what I’ve noticed, from Mexico, they catapult weed or other drugs over the fence with a $50 wooden catapult. Someone receives it on the other side. No money was spent. A wall cannot stop this.
I heard that Trump sent a bunch of catapults to the border so ICE could start chucking all those children they kidnapped back over to Mexico. Problem is the children keep colliding with the drugs in mid air. It’s total chaos down there.
Totally uncalled for, dude. Really?!
No children were kidnapped.
Interesting way to make friends.
Cameras and motion detectors catch most of that. Its small parcels that they try that with, not pound bags…
If u are a Mexican working at Normal job then great but this is all cartel! F all them.All Mexicans get rid all them they are cartels fucking up our cities, close border and piss on keeping families together!
Pinkman!
Plenty still available from the camper next to the town square, driver side window,Nevada plates-or try HHI.
Great job special agents and all involved.
Keep up the good work.
I’m sure there is a lot more out there.
That’s a lot and would have been cut down to far more. Thank you officers you did a good job. I have loved ones who’s lives are being devistated by this drug. It’s not a joke or a political cartoon. So sad that Americans are so rediculous online. Grow up and go outside and interact with people not trolling hate junkies. So rediculous to make getting this drug of the street in any quantity a bad thing. You should really get educated about drugs and the dt symptoms before trying to shame law enforcement for doing a good job.
