A U.S. citizen with links to the Sinaloa cartel was arrested by Mexican authorities on Feb. 25 after he attempted to cross into Tijuana with a vast arsenal of weapons to give to the criminal organization.
The 41-year-old was identified as Scott Harvey Daniel Lee Thompson, and, according to Mexico's Secretariat of Defense, he is an associate of the criminal cell known as "Los Rusos," the armed wing of "La Mayiza," a faction of the Sinaloa cartel involved in a violent turf war in Northern Mexico with "Los Chapitos."
