The Massachusetts police department reported the man is called Miguel Rodriguez, a 51-year-old citizen of the Dominican Republic who had just arrived at the U.S. He had allegedly swallowed the 27 bags full of heroin to smuggle them into the United States. Nor he faces drug trafficking charges.
The way to Rodriguez confession
On Tuesday, Rodriguez reported to the North Shore Medical Center Salem Hospital, complaining that he was feeling sick after eating a lobster. However, after consulting the patient, the staff recognized his symptoms as he was suffering from drugs intoxication. So, instead of treating him for food poisoning, they gave him the drug Narcan, a lifesaving drug for opioid overdose.
The patient’s condition stabilized after taking Narcan and he was then confronted by the doctors. After being questioned about his health, he confessed that he had returned from the Dominican Republic where he had swallowed “something bad”, meaning several bags of heroin, with the plan to smuggle them into the United States.
On his journey, Rodriguez had acquired a large quantity of heroin, which he wanted to smuggle into the States and to be sure he passes airport security, he decided to pack the heroin into 27 bags and ingested them.
After the bags were extracted, the police confiscated the illegal substances.
Rodriguez’s accusations
For his actions, Miguel Rodriguez was charged with drug trafficking on Thursday. He pleaded guilty when asked about his stance on the case. However, since Rodriguez is currently recuperating in the hospital from major surgery, the Court has agreed to set a bail. According to the Court, the bail for Rodriguez’s release has been set at 500.000 dollars.
Captain Conrad Prosniewski, Salem’s Chief of Police declared that drug activity has increased in the last decade. Furthermore, the captain also pointed out that since the beginning of 2016, the police department handles no less than 29 OD cases, three of which were fatal.

The quantity that he had inside of him came to the weight level that exceeded the trafficking qualifications.” police Captain Conrad Prosniewski regarding the incident.

Funny, they drop the hammer on a guy who’s trying to smuggle drugs that would supply maybe a handful of people for a few days. Yet sexually violent predators, burglars, robbers, etc. are being released on early parole and allowed back into our communities to continue their criminal lifestyles. Is this sorry old man really worse then the others?
I wonder why it wasnt a white guy doing this….?
Of course, of course – no white guy has ever committed a crime like this
Gimme a break
I’m sure there are a couple…95% of gang shootings dont occur at the hands of non whites because minorities are discriminated against by the authorities. Almost all drug smuggling from mexico isnt done by mexicans because the border patrol is fudging the numbers to make white people look good. Just like most african american slaves were sold into slavery by black africans. Patting yourself on the back doesnt change reality no matter how hard you pat or how awesome of a person you think you are. Maybe if we stopped telling blacks and mexicans that being anti authority gangster thugs is great and that trying to better yourself makes you a white b!tch then maybe you wouldnt have so many black and mexican ghetto ganster thugs who see prison as a chance to get more street cred. See, racism exists because without racism we would all strive to be good people and it would be much harder to say that being a productive member of society makes you a sell out. History is full of people from humble backgrounds making something of themselves. Never once do you hear about a ganster thug who rose in fame and power that didnt get killed by someone.
