The executive director of a police union in California has been placed on leave and is facing federal charges after allegedly importing drugs from overseas and distributing them throughout the country
Joanne Marian Segovia, 64, ordered thousands of synthetic opioids including valeryl fentanyl that were disguised as chocolates, wedding favors and makeup, according to the criminal complaint filed Monday by the Office of the United States Attorney. Segovia, who serves as the executive director of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association , allegedly used her personal and office computers to order the opioids and made shipments using the union’s UPS account, the complaint said.
“But between July 2019 and January 2023, officials intercepted and opened five of these shipments and found that they contained thousands of pills of controlled substances, including the synthetic opioids Tramadol and Tapentadol,” the press release said. In February 2023, Segovia was interviewed by federal investigators but she continued to order drug shipments, including a package in March containing valeryl fentanyl seized by federal agents in Kentucky, according to the complaint.

CNN preaches patience as ratings tank during turnaroundCNN's leaders are preaching patience as viewers have been abandoning the network during its attempted turnaround. Cable news ratings in general were down in March compared to the same month last year, when Russia's invasion of Ukraine was fresh, but nowhere as much as at CNN. Nielsen says CNN's viewership during prime time was down 61%. CNN is hoping enough viewers stick around until new leader Chris Licht's vision of a non-partisan, entertaining prime-time lineup takes hold, although that probably won't be until the fall. A revamped daytime look will roll out over the next few weeks, and CNN is crossing its fingers that the slow-starting ‘CNN This Morning’ shows signs of a turnaround.
