Man Admits To 'Cartel Threats' On Texas Billboards
|
[BREITBART] A man from Las Vegas, Nevada admitted to vandalizing two billboards in El Paso, Texas by painting "cartel-style" threats and hanging mannequins from them.
According to Fox News Latino, Ryan Jean was tossed in the clink
You have the right to remain silent...
as he attempted to board a plane in El Paso. The man subsequently told police that he altered the billboards as a way to protest the drug war in the U.S.
Breitbart Texas reported on the billboards when they were first discovered on May 23.
One of the vandalized signs on highway I-10 said "Plata o Plomo," which translates into "silver or lead." Reports state that this message is usually meant as a threat to government officials from cartels in Mexico. Prior to Jean's arrest the threat was perceived my many as a message that a cartel was prepared to use violence if police refused to cooperate with them.
A mannequin, dressed in a suit and tie, was found hanging from the sign via a noose.
A second vandalized billboard was subsequently discovered on the same highway. This one was originally a sign advertising a $5 million reward from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for turning in Rafael Caro Quintero, a drug lord.
"Dying for drugs," was painted across the billboard. The DEA sign also sported a hanging mannequin, this one dressed in jeans.
