   The former Riverside County Sheriff’s deputy who was allegedly caught with   
   more than 100 pounds of fentanyl pills last year was nabbed as part of a   
   high-profile investigation into the cartel once led by the drug lord known   
   as “El Chapo,” according to a report in the Press-Enterprise.   
      
   Banning resident Jorge Oceguera-Rocha, 25, resigned his position as a   
   correctional deputy after his arrest in September 2023.   
      
   According to officials, he was driving his private vehicle in Calimesa when   
   he was pulled over. Inside his car, investigators say they found a gun and   
   104 pounds of fentanyl pills.   
      
   Investigators did not detail how they learned of Oceguera-Rocha’s alleged   
   involvement in drug trafficking, but now it’s apparent that he was the   
   “corrupt Riverside County Correctional Deputy” mentioned in a Wednesday   
   press release touting Operation Hotline Bling, the Press-Enterprise   
   explained.   
      
   That operation, which led to 15 arrests and the seizure of $16 million in   
   narcotics, was aimed at the Sinaloa cartel’s activity in the Inland Empire.   
      
   That cartel was once helmed by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, perhaps one of   
   the   
   most prominent and powerful drug lords since the height of Pablo Escobar’s   
   empire in the 1980s and early ’90s.
