A press release said a federal criminal complaint has been filed charging 64-year-old San Jose resident Joanne Marian Segovia with attempting to"illegally import a controlled substance in connection with a scheme to bring synthetic opioids into the country and distribute them throughout the United States." The criminal complaint was filed by United States Attorney Ismail J. Ramsey and Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Tatum King on March 27, and unsealed Thurday.
According to the complaint, Segovia is the Executive Director of the SJPOA. The complaint"alleges that Segovia used her personal and office computers to order thousands of opioid and other pills to her home and agreed to distribute the drugs elsewhere in the United States." The complaint alleges that between October 2015 and January of this year, Segovia had at least 61 shipments mailed to her home. Countries of origin included Hong Kong, Hungary, India, and Singapore. The manifests for these shipments declared the contents of the packages with labels like"Wedding Party Favors,""Gift Makeup," or"Chocolate and Sweets.
The complaint also alleged that Segovia communicated using encrypted WhatsApp messages to plan the logistics for receiving and sending pill shipments and used her office at the San Jose Police Officers' Association to distribute controlled substances and even used the SJPOA's UPS account for a shipment . According to the complaint, Segovia continued to order controlled substances even after being interviewed by federal investigators last month.
Segovia is charged with attempt to unlawfully import valeryl fentanyl and faces a maximum statutory sentence of 20 years if convicted. In addition, the court may order a convicted defendant to serve at least 3 years of supervised release and to pay a fine of up to $250,000.
please!!!, but we are in a system and we have to work within the system, so we got to have and organize thing going on here and let other black Americans know, then what are we organizing around {better ?} {better ?} this is the same 1960 BS, with their drugs jobs and kkk police
I have always thought the drug business is so successful bc ppl in authority (usually both sides of US/Mexico border) are either looking the other way or bringing them in themselves. This a prime example of abuse of power! Probably many others doing this through the mail too.
Wowwowwow 🤦🏼♀️
