Female California police union exec, 64, is charged with running eight-year, global FENTANYL operation from her gated community home - and using the union's UPS account to ship the killer drug

A San Jose grandmother has allegedly been importing fentanyl from India and other countries into the U.S. and has been using her home as a base for the global drug operation.

Joanne Marian Segovia, 64, is the executive director of the San Jose Police Officers' Association, and was charged with attempting to unlawfully import valeryl fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, federal prosecutors said in a statement Wednesday. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison.

Starting in 2015, Segovia had at least 61 drug shipments mailed to her San Jose home from India, Hong Kong, Hungary and Singapore with manifests that listed their contents as 'wedding party favors,' 'gift makeup,' 'chocolate and sweets' and 'food supplement,' according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.

Tom Saggau, a spokesperson for the police union in San Jose, said Segovia has worked for the union since 2003, planning funerals for officers who die in the line of duty, being the liaison between the department and the officers' families and organizing office festivities and fundraisers.

I'm trying not to get political but I notice a certain silence from those elected folk who usually scream and rant about the present administration not doing anything or enough to stop the flow of Fentanyl into the country.


As an aside, this hits me hard because almost two years ago the Mr's family lost a wonderful, bright, funny, awesome 18yr old to Fentanyl. It was a shocking devastating moment in time and we miss him so much. His younger brother found him in his room when he went in to wake him up. It took a long time to get the results back but we all guessed at it. He was a good kid, some misbehaving at times but a decent kind, funny, sweet, loving kid who was going to graduate and had plans for his life. We're all still in shock from losing him.
