Officers from the E-5 drug unit didn't have far to go yesterday to arrest Rafael Vargas Mariano - they just walked next door on Centre Street to the 7-Eleven and there he was, police say.
Police say drug-unit officers had the store under watch as part of an investigation when they arrested Vargas Mariano, also known as Yordani Miguel Romero, around 3:50 p.m.
Officers were able to safely recover a loaded .380 caliber Ruger handgun from the waistband area of the suspect’s pants. Additionally, the officers seized $44,240.00 in U.S. Currency from inside a plastic bag the suspect was carrying.
Police did not provide further details of the investigation.

Musta been a BIG ziplock
Even if was all in hundreds, $44,000 would fill a pretty good sized bag.

$44,000 is 440 $100 dollar bills and would fit nicely in the inside pocket of my blazer (unfolded). No need for a small bag even!
Is that Amazon parcel wall still in there?
I could imagine someone getting creative with 3rd party shipping stuff via that as a dropbox.
I'd be a terrible criminal, can't imagine just walking around literally next door to a police station in a quiet neighborhood with $44k in cash and a gun.
Seems like that would make
Seems like that would make you a better criminal than this guy!
7-11 IS expensive
Maybe he came in to buy a week's groceries and figured the bill might run to 5 figures.
