Massive haul of methamphetamine seized in one of Minnesota's 'largest meth busts' ever
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Two men were arrested on Monday after law enforcement seized nearly 900 pounds of suspected methamphetamine worth approximately $1.7 million — in what authorities are calling “one of the largest meth busts in Minnesota history.”
“[Nine hundred pounds] of meth seized during two traffic stops in Minnesota yesterday, in a hit targeting drug trafficking rings you’ll hear about soon,” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino wrote in a post on X on Tuesday. “We’re finding them and crushing their operations. More to come. Thanks to our [U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration] partners for the coordination.”

Two men, 46-year-old Joel Casas-Santiago and 44-year-old Guillermo Mercado Chaparro, are facing charges for their alleged involvement in the crime, FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul reported.
Last week, an undercover police officer reportedly purchased meth from Chaparro, and authorities proceeded to secure a court order to track his pickup truck, FOX 9 reported, citing the criminal complaint.

On Monday, police saw Chaparro put two bags into a Jeep parked near his pickup truck. Casas-Santiago reportedly entered the Jeep, and the two men drove off in their separate vehicles.

Police later found and searched the Jeep, at which point they discovered 251 pounds of suspected methamphetamine. Law enforcement then obtained a warrant for the pickup truck, where they discovered an additional 638 pounds of methamphetamine as well as a drug ledger, according to FOX 9.

Chaparro allegedly admitted to being involved in drug trafficking, and investigators believe both men are linked to a larger drug organization that operates out of Mexico, FOX 9 reported.

“… In Minneapolis, [Violent Crime Enforcement Teams] arrested two men and seized the massive drug load — possibly one of the largest meth busts in Minnesota history,” the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday. “Both suspects have been charged with controlled substance crimes.”
Bongino also took to X earlier this week with statistics he says demonstrate the FBI’s heightened focus on violent crime and illegal immigration “is working.”
Over the last few months, the FBI has seized 22% more illicit drugs than in the same period last year, including more than 97,000 pounds of cocaine, over 7,000 pounds of meth and more than 2,500 pounds of fentanyl, he wrote.
The FBI and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive No. 4014 to stop in Northeast Ohio apart of cross-country tour
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The largest operating steam locomotive is traveling the East Coast this summer and will stop in the Cleveland area starting Monday.
The Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 is touring the country as part of its “Coast-to-Coast” tour honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The tour will mark a first for Ohio: it will be the first time the locomotive stops in the state.
The tour spans two months and started May 25.
Stops are expected to last between 15 and 30 minutes.
The following whistle-stops are scheduled in Ohio on June 8:
- Lorain: Near West 11th Street and Reid Avenue — 11:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
- Euclid: Chardon Road crossing, north of Euclid Avenue — 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.
✏️ Inline Revision
The second round of whistle-stops in Northeast Ohio will happen on July 13, when the locomotive stops in Rocky River near 19060 Depot Street from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The locomotives were first commissioned in 1941 for the Union Pacific Railroad.
The company originally built 25 locomotives to haul heavy equipment for military purposes.
They are 133 feet long and weigh 1.2 million pounds.
The locomotives were retired in December 1961 but returned to service in May 2019.
The railroad company said seven Big Boys remain in the country.
A free-admission Fourth of July celebration stop will be in Philadelphia at Intrepid Avenue and League Island Boulevard from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Union Pacific encourages visitors to stay at least 25 feet from the tracks and not trespass on private property.
It also asks visitors to expect a train, never pace one, and be aware of their surroundings.
A full listing of stops on the eastern leg of the tour is available on Union Pacific’s website.
The stops are also streaming on their website.
