Apodaca-Alvarez told the undercover agent he was coordinating directly with members of the Sinaloa Cartel to facilitate the large-scale distribution of narcotics and stated that the potency of the pressed fentanyl pills that he sold \u201cwas dropping people everywhere.\u201d Apodaca-Alvarez worked directly with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-edny\/pr\/co-founder-sinaloa-cartel-charged-superseding-indictment-conspiracy-manufacture-and\">Ismael \u201cEl Mayo\u201d Zambada Garcia<\/a>, a co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">During the conspiracy, Apodaca-Alvarez coordinated with the remaining codefendants to assist in distributing the controlled substances throughout the United States, including Arizona, California, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Texas, and Virginia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Law enforcement officers identified Roque Bustamante, nicknamed the \u201cSkittles Man,\u201d due to his distribution of rainbow-colored fentanyl pills, as Apodaca-Alvarez\u2019s primary source of supply. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In recorded conversations, Apodaca-Alvarez and Roque Bustamante inquired if the undercover agent would supply them with firearms, including 50-caliber high-powered rifles to be smuggled into Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Apodaca-Alvarez was ultimately arrested in South Florida while delivering 16 kilograms of fentanyl and 2 kilograms of cocaine to the undercover agent during an undercover operation.
