Massive haul of methamphetamine seized in one of Minnesota's ‘largest meth busts' ever
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.' Advertisement 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. 3 A pick-up truck bed is filled with 900 pounds of suspected methamphetamine worth approximately $1.7 million. Dan Bongino/X Advertisement 3 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. Ramsey County Sheriff's Office/Facebook 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. Advertisement 3 The suspected meth was seized and brought back to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office for proper disposal. Dan Bongino/X Casas-Santiago has been charged with one count of first-degree sale of meth within a 90-day period, while Chaparro is facing two counts of first-degree sale of meth within a 90-day period. '… 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.' Advertisement 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.

Nationals recall 1B/DH Andrés Chaparro from minors after sending down infielder Nasim Nuñez
NEW YORK (AP) — The Washington Nationals recalled first baseman and designated hitter Andrés Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester before Tuesday night's game against the New York Mets. Chaparro was available off the bench for the series opener at Citi Field. He takes the roster spot of middle infielder Nasim Nuñez, optioned to Triple-A after going 0 for 2 on Sunday in a 4-2 loss at home to the Texas Rangers. The 26-year-old Chaparro was batting .304 with five home runs and 19 RBIs in 15 games for the Red Wings this season. He was selected International League player of the week on June 2. 'Andrés has been swinging the bat really well. We're struggling against left-handed pitching. He gives us another right-handed bat,' manager Dave Martinez said. 'He'll definitely get some at-bats against left-handed pitching.' Chaparro made his major league debut for Washington last August and hit .215 with four homers and 15 RBIs in 33 games. The 24-year-old Nuñez batted .186 with five RBIs, seven stolen bases and a .503 OPS in 23 games for the Nationals this season. Martinez said Nuñez will play shortstop every day down at Rochester. 'He's young. He's full of energy, as we all know. We just want to get him some everyday at-bats in case something does happen and he comes up here, he's ready to fill the void,' Martinez said. 'He's going to be a good one.' Washington also claimed right-hander Ryan Loutos off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers and assigned him to Rochester. ___
