SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – For the first time, a San Diego man is sharing his horrifying story about being an alleged so-called blind mule for a drug cartel. Team 10 Investigative Reporter Jennifer Kastner discovered that there's people who cross into San Diego from Mexico who have no idea they're smuggling drugs. “I thought I was in a nightmare. I could not believe that this was happening to me,” says the man we interviewed who tells us he was the unsuspecting victim of a drug trafficking scheme by a cartel. We’ve agreed to not use his name or show his face. “My biggest fear is that if they were watching me then, they're probably watching me now,’ he told 10News.10News was in a San Diego courtroom this January when his case was formally dismissed. Prosecutors dismissed the case, after charging him months earlier with bringing marijuana through the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. There was no explanation for the dismissal, but the man we interviewed believes it was due to a lack of evidence. To this day, he maintains his innocence. “In my wildest dreams, I would have never thought that there were five huge packages of marijuana stuck to the undercarriage of my truck,” he says. He claims he was a blind mule, a person who unknowingly moved narcotics.“I think it is without a doubt true that there are instances every year where people are coming across, bringing drugs, and they do not realize they're doing it,” says Caleb Mason, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in San Diego. He’s studied blind mules. They're not common, but they do exist. “Five percent is approximately the rate that we saw going across districts,” Mason said.Last October, a Mexican citizen who crosses the border into San Diego for work became an unsuspecting smuggler, after five pounds of drugs were found hidden under his fender.There’s also a famous case from 2011 in which an El Paso school teacher was released from a Mexican jail, after investigators discovered she was being used as a blind drug mule. She didn't know that almost ninety pounds of pot were hidden in her trunk when she crossed the border. The man we interviewed for this story says it was last summer when he was living in Tijuana and commuting daily to San Diego for work. After getting unfortunate news that he'd been let go at his job, he says he crossed back into Mexico to have lunch with his girlfriend and parked his truck in an open, unsecured lot. He then crossed back to go fishing, but at the Port of Entry, the K-9s alerted an officer to his truck. He adds, “The first thing that he said to me is, ‘Are you under duress? Has anybody forced you to drive this vehicle?’” He says he was placed in a holding cell and then taken to jail after officers removed packages with more than forty pounds of pot from under his truck that were stuck on with magnets.“Typically, those are attached by magnets just to the undercarriage of the vehicle. sometimes we see spare tires mounted in the car in or on the car,” says Sgt. Bill Kerr with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s Border Crimes Suppression Team. “Your classic, true blind mule is typically a SENTRI pass holder, meaning they face less scrutiny when crossing the border,” he adds. SENTRI passes expedite the clearance process for low-risk, approved travelers in the United States. The man we interviewed did not have a SENTRI pass, but says he was easy to track and follow. “I believe that I was targeted because of my routine,” he said.The case financially drained him. He never got his truck back, and had to pay thousands of dollars in attorney's fees. “This completely turned my life upside down,” he explains. He’s hoping his story will raise awareness for travelers to always be mindful of their vehicles’ security. 3748

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Employees at Sovereign Health in Rancho San Diego tell 10News they have not been paid for weeks.Tracy Hydorn is one of those employees. She wiped away tears, thinking about her piling expenses."I haven't been able to send my son to his prom, buy his yearbook, get tires on my car," Hydorn said. She got emotional as she talked about being able to do "basic paying" of items.Hydorn works at the Sovereign Health facility on Steele Canyon Road. She said her paychecks are five weeks behind."The people that I work with are good people and they're working hard, but the corporation doesn't care at all," Hydorn said.She is not alone. The company has six locations across the country with about 500 employees. Eugene, a driver for Sovereign Health in Florida, said his paychecks are weeks late. He was forced to take on another job as an Uber driver to make money. "I Uber'ed until 5:30 in the morning... and still didn't make enough money to pay my rent," Eugene said.A spokesperson for Sovereign Health told Team 10 payroll issues have been going on throughout the company for six weeks due to a transition to a new vendor. He would not say who that vendor was. They are hoping the situation will be taken care of by early next week and apologized to its employees. Hydorn is trying to hang on, but she is tired of the company's excuses."If anything they had said had been genuine or you could believe it, it would be easier to deal with," she said.  1496

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — During a closed session meeting on Friday, the county Board of Supervisors voted to appeal a recent court's decision to allow strip clubs and restaurants to reopen amid California's regional stay-at-home order.While the board voted to appeal the ruling, Chairman Greg Cox said they have directed the county's legal counsel to only argue against the operation of strip clubs and allowing indoor dining despite California's coronavirus restrictions."The Board voted to appeal the order. But the Board directed County Counsel to only argue that the order is incorrect as it relates to the continued operation of strip clubs and the allowance of indoor dining. We support outdoor dining with appropriate safety protocols that have been previously established. We remind everyone that the virus is still out there. Please continue to cover your face, wash your hands and avoid gatherings," Cox said in a statement.Lawyers from the state joined in the county's appeal, arguing the ruling overreaches, as no restaurants were parties in the suit.It's unclear when a ruling on the appeal could be given.RELATED COVERAGE:Not all San Diego restaurants will reopen, despite court orderSan Diego restaurants ready to reopen for indoor and outdoor dining after judge's rulingThis week, a judge ruled in favor of Pacers Showgirls and Cheetahs Gentleman's Club, which were forced to close in October due to coronavirus restrictions. The ruling was in response to a preliminary injunction granted to the clubs in November that protected them from some enforcement.San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel R. Wohlfeil ruled that the adult entertainment businesses and "San Diego County businesses with restaurant service" cannot get a cease-and-desist order."The court’s intention is that all businesses which provide restaurant service — meaning all restaurants in the County of San Diego — are encompassed in the scope of the court’s order. It’s not limited to plaintiffs who also provide restaurant service, but it is intended to encompass all restaurants within the County of San Diego,” said Judge Wohlfeil.RELATED COVERAGE:Judge's ruling on strip clubs includes all San Diego County restaurantsSan Diego brewery among beer makers suing Gov. Newsom over tasting room proceduresThis prompted the county to halt enforcement against restaurants that didn't only offer takeout and delivery, as required under California's regional stay-at-home order. Many local restaurants reopened for some form of in-person dining after the ruling.Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said in a statement on Friday that he "vehemently" disagrees with the court's ruling."Given the massive rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, we must make difficult decisions to slow the spread of the virus. I vehemently disagree with the recent judicial decision allowing strip clubs and all restaurant activities to resume and I support appealing the entirety of the recent court ruling. It is a positive step that our board voted unanimously to join the state in the appeal as it relates to strip clubs and indoor dining," Fletcher said. California's regional stay-at-home order went into effect after the Southern California region, which includes San Diego County, saw its ICU capacity dip under 15%. Friday, the region's capacity sat at 0%. 3319

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Former KUSI anchor Sandra Maas is suing the station for million, alleging retaliatory termination and violation of the Equal Pay Act. Maas’ attorneys claim McKinnon Broadcasting Company and the company's actions “have caused, and will continue to cause, Maas emotional distress and loss of earnings."Maas was hired by KUSI in 2004 as a morning news co-anchor. In 2010, she was promoted to evening co-anchor. The lawsuit states Maas initiated additional duties for herself in 2016 when she started writing, producing and anchoring a weekly segment called “Healthy Living.” In 2017, court documents say Maas suspected she was underpaid compared to her male peers. The lawsuit claims her suspicions were confirmed when a former manager told her a male co-anchor was being paid ,000 more than her per year. The lawsuit states that in December of 2017, Maas brought up the issue of pay inequity during contract negotiations and “was given the runaround.” After sending a written complaint to her manager and the station’s general manager, Mike McKinnon Jr., the lawsuit says McKinnon told Maas he “did not like the tone of [her] email.”The last few paragraphs of the lawsuit claim failure to provide equal pay to women, gender and/or age discrimination, failure to prevent discrimination, and retaliation. Maas’s last day at the station was June 13, 2019. Read the full lawsuit below: 1416
