Drug Situation: Mexican poly-drug
trafficking organizations dominate all facets of illegal narcotics
distribution throughout Utah. Sources of supply for methamphetamine,
cocaine, heroin, and marijuana are primarily located in California, the
southwest, pacific northwest, and Mexico. Methamphetamine production and
abuse are the primary drug threats in Utah.
 Cocaine:
Cocaine is encountered throughout Utah. Kilogram quantities are
available along the Wasatch Range, which stretches from Provo to Ogden
and includes approximately 75 percent of the state’s population. Mexican
organizations tend to dominate large scale cocaine distribution,
although several other groups are capable of distributing kilogram
quantities. In recent years, purity levels for cocaine in Utah have
remained relatively stable, but prices have risen. Crack cocaine is
available in ounce quantities, though it is confined primarily to larger
cities.
Heroin:
Heroin is a serious problem in Utah. Mexican brown and black tar heroin
are available throughout the state with multi-ounce and larger
quantities distributed in major cities. Southern California is the
source area for multi-ounce and pound quantities of heroin after being
smuggled from Mexico. Mexican organizations trafficking in heroin also
distribute cocaine and methamphetamine. Higher purity levels of heroin
have recently been encountered through undercover purchases and
seizures.
 Methamphetamine:
Methamphetamine is the primary drug threat throughout Utah. Mexican
poly-drug trafficking organizations dominate the distribution of
methamphetamine, most of which is produced in Mexico and southern
California. The methamphetamine supplied by these organizations has
increased in purity in recent years.
Over the past
four years, there has been a decline in methamphetamine labs in Utah.
This is attributed to a number of factors, including strict precursor
legislation (that was passed by the Utah Legislature in 2000), community
awareness and education campaigns, and aggressive law enforcement
efforts. Currently, most labs discovered in Utah are small (as measured
by the amount of product made per cook) and rudimentary, compared to
super-labs that were the norm several years ago. Despite the dramatic
reduction in illegal clandestine labs, methamphetamine remains the drug
of choice throughout Utah.
In August 2003,
the owner of a Salt Lake City-based business was federally indicted for
Conspiracy to Distribute Pseudoephedrine and Ephedrine to be used in the
illegal manufacture of methamphetamine. In addition, the owner of
another business based in Ogden was sentenced to 97 months imprisonment
on 2 counts of Distribution of Pseudoephedrine and Ephedrine to be used
in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine. As a result of the
investigation, three local businesses that supplied precursor chemicals
and glassware for methamphetamine production have been put out of
business.
Club
Drugs: MDMA and GHB are a problem along the Wasatch Front.
They are available through dance clubs and private parties. Many abusers
of LSD and other hallucinogens are now dealing and using MDMA and GHB
because of their availability and profitability. MDMA distribution in
Utah is controlled by structured organizations with domestic sources of
supply in the southwestern United States.
Marijuana:
The majority of marijuana encountered in Utah is of Mexican origin.
Marijuana is also grown in the remote areas of the state, which are most
conducive for growing operations due to the fertile soil. Also, the
importation of marijuana from British Columbia, Canada, remains active
in Utah.
In July 2003, DEA
Metro Narcotics Task Force personnel assisted the United States Forest
Service and Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office (Canyon Patrol) with the
seizure of 8,800 marijuana plants from a remote area of Big Cottonwood
Canyon. This marijuana seizure was the largest ever in Utah. A
sophisticated gravity-flow watering system was utilized in the grow
operation. Illegal migrant workers were utilized to tend to the harvest,
reflecting an increasing trend of having illegal aliens brought to Utah
in order to plant, grow, and cultivate marijuana. By growing the
marijuana domestically, trafficking organizations are able to avoid
having to smuggle the marijuana across the border. It should also be
noted that due to the remote location and rough terrain of the grow
site, the Utah Department of Public Safety assisted in the eradication
of these plants by utilizing helicopters to fly out thousands of pounds
of equipment and marijuana.
 DEA
Mobile Enforcement Teams:
This cooperative program with state and local law enforcement
counterparts was conceived in 1995 in response to the overwhelming
problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the
nation. Since the inception of the MET Program, a total of 436
deployments have been completed nationwide, resulting in 18,318 arrests.
There have been two MET deployments in the State of Utah since the
inception of the program: Salt Lake City and Midvale.
DEA Regional Enforcement Teams:
This program was designed to augment existing DEA division resources by
targeting drug organizations operating in the United States where there
is a lack of sufficient local drug law enforcement. This program was
conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking
organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug
trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations
in the United States. As of January 31, 2005, there have been 27
deployments nationwide, and one deployment in the U.S. Virgin Islands,
resulting in 671 arrests. There have been no RET deployments in the
State of Utah.
Special
Topics:
The State of Utah participates in the Rocky Mountain HIDTA, which is
based in Denver, Colorado. The DEA Metro Narcotics Task Force receives
funding from HIDTA. In mid-2001, a HIDTA Investigative Support Center (ISC)
was established in Utah and co-located with the DEA Salt Lake City
District Office. The ISC supports drug task forces throughout the state.
In February 2003,
the DEA Metro Narcotics Task Force began participating in a nationwide,
coordinated investigation into the Ismael Zambada-Garcia drug
trafficking organization, responsible for smuggling tons of
methamphetamine and cocaine into the United States. Information obtained
from the nationwide investigation helped agents identify members of the
Zambada-Garcia organization operating in Utah. Several of these members
acted as drug couriers who traveled to California to pick up large
amounts of drugs and brought them back to Utah for distribution. During
one such trip, the couriers were stopped and 10 pounds of
methamphetamine were seized. In June 2003, DEA Metro learned of another
shipment of drugs that was being driven from California to Salt Lake
City. Ultimately, the vehicle was stopped and approximately 11 pounds of
cocaine were discovered that had been vacuum-sealed and secreted in a
false compartment within the gas tank of the vehicle.
