El Teo captured in La Paz, BCS
Kind of ironic he was hiding out in La Paz.

yeah- I figured he was still in Rosarito or Ensenada. Interesting that the DEA announces his capture first- not Mexico. I guess that saves a few
Mexican journalists their lives...
Nice job DEA!

I guess he felt Rosarito was just too dangerous a place.
Nice catch!

Street cleaning
For the near future I'd recommend postponing plans to visit TJ.
It's gonna get ugly.

I agree. When leaders are captured it can lead to more violence from within the cartel and rival cartels as they fight for control.

We'll just hope for some rain to clean the blood off the streets.
It's already worse. The violence had been escalating even before TEO's capture- the Media is just numb to it. No point beating a dead horse I guess.

"Garcia is considered to be among the country's most vicious kingpins. Officials say he was to blame for many of the beheaded bodies found dumped
in Tijuana and that he ordered hundreds of bodies to be dissolved in acid.
He is listed among Mexico's 24 most-wanted drug lords and the government had offered $2.1 million for information leading to his arrest.
Officials say Garcia was a cartel lieutenant who broke away from the Arellano Felix gang following the arrest of its leader, Benjamin Arellano Felix,
and the death of his brother, Raul.
Garcia formed his own gang, which was zealous in killing street-corner peddlers as he tried to solidify his control of eastern Tijuana. He is believed
to be allied with the Sinaloa cartel, run by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, according to an army document dated February 2009."

Teo used his 3 planes and baja airstrips to move the drugs...
"Garcia formed his own gang, which got its drugs from the Sinaloa Cartel run by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and from the La Familia gang in Michoacan
state, Pequeno said.
Garcia owned three planes that his gang would use to fly drugs from Michoacan, Sinaloa and Jalisco states to the Baja California peninsula, where they
were unloaded and then smuggled into the United States by land, Pequeno said."

If true, as the Associated Press story states, they arrested him at "a home he owns in La Paz". Is that arrogance or stupidity? I was kinda wondering
how a guy like that traveled. Did he just walk up to the Volaris counter at the TJ airport and use his Mastercard to buy a ticket to La Paz? Or may he
hopped into his Hummer and drove down, chit-chatting with the soldiers at the checkpoints? Just curious.
edit- as it looks like Woooosh answered at least one of my questions.

He was very non-descript looking and blended in. Hiding in plain sight all along probably.
Probably had runway conversations and chit-chat contact with our flying nomads. Bet no one suspected him to just fly in and out that openly...

So what do you think they will do with him? Extradite him to the USA right away? Too hot a potato to handle down here or a show trial?

I'm thinking extradition. The situation is too volatile in Mexico to consider a trial SOB, IMHO.

He is staying in Mexico, has five warrants, kidnapping, murder, drugs, you name it, hes done it.
Hes an animal, they should have put a bullet in his head and get it over with.

Hmm, any connection here, perhaps, to the murder of the La Paz police chief a couple years ago? I haven't heard a word about whether that was solved.

What does a Mexican criminal trial of this magnitude look like? I don't think I've ever seen anything on them. Does anyone think a Mexican jail can
hold onto him? Is anyone watching his back or are the other narco families happy to see him gone?
Doesn't look much like his suit and tie photo-
