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) – Hospital beds are filling up quickly with available capacity at zero in Southern California.ICE Nurse Peter Sidhu is overwhelmed. The Los Angeles County RN says their hospitals are on the brink of their limits.“We’re having an influx of patients like I’ve never seen before,” said Sidhu. “We’re running out of space. We’re converting any and every room into a patient room.”He feels more protected after getting the vaccine Thursday but says being short-staffed is a whole other threat. Sidhu also serves as treasurer for the UNAC/UHCP nurses union. He says hospitals have been facing systemic nursing shortages since the early 2000s.“You’ll be lucky to even get a restroom break. You’re on your feet, you’re running, patients are being intubated,” said Sidhu. “We don’t have enough staff. We didn’t have enough staff to take care of our patients before we had COVID.”California groups counties into five regions as part of the new stay-at-home order. On Thursday, the Southern California region available ICU capacity hit zero, even though availability for San Diego County is about 16%. That’s in part because other counties contribute to our region’s total. Inyo County only has two ICU beds open as of Dec. 18. Imperial County has no beds left.“You can open up empty wings, you can convert auditoriums, you can see what some places are doing which is parking structures and tents,” said Sidhu. “But, you can’t replace nurses.”While there are still some ICU beds open in San Diego, they’re filling up quickly. Scripps hospitals tells ABC 10News they’ve requested additional ventilators and respiratory therapists from the county.“We’ve constructed temporary negative pressure rooms, added surge tents at our emergency departments, and expanded COVID care to additional hospital floors,” said Scripps spokesperson Stephen Carpowich.For people who still aren’t being safe, Sidhu as this warning.“I’m looking at the kinds of patients that we have. They’re younger than I thought they would be. They’re healthier. And now they’re all suffering from COVID,” said Sidhu.The county says they’re holding off on some vital procedures like organ transplants and cancer surgeries in non-COVID patients to make more room. 2239

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Erica Norman spent months saving thousands for a cruise down the Mexican Riviera on the massive Norwegian Bliss. Norman and about 4,000 others boarded that ship this week and were whisked away from the Port of Los Angeles. They were excited for a trip down to Cabo and Mazatlan - but instead, they wound up in San Francisco."I paid ,000 for this cruise and it's just a tour going in a circle in California," said Norman, who lives in Orange County. "I'm not happy about that."Norman said that about two hours into the cruise, the passengers got an announcement that the ship would divert to San Francisco, San Diego, and make one stop in Ensenada before heading back to Los Angeles. The ship made the call to avoid Hurricane Willa down south. RELATED: Tropical storms force Norwegian Bliss cruise ship to divert to San Diego"The safety and security of our guests and crew is always our top priority," Norwegian cruises said in a statement. "Guests were notified of the change as soon as our operations team was able to confirm the modified itinerary."But Norman said many of the guests felt blindsided. "I think they knew ahead of time, and then once they got us out in the water then they decided to change the itinerary because no one could get off at that time," Norman said. The Bliss reached San Diego Wednesday morning. At 1,094 feet long and a capacity of 4,004 passengers, it's the largest to ever dock in San Diego, a city that usually gets older ships on less traveled routes. RELATED: Cruise industry booming as season begins in San Diego"The guests will visit all the attractions, go on tours, go to restaurants, go shopping," said Adam Deaton, who directs cruise business for the Port of San Diego. About two dozen taxicabs waited for the passengers as they disembarked on Harbor Drive. Bikes that normally would have baked in the sun were rented. And pedicab drivers said they were finding new passengers. A food mart across from the ship had a line about 10 deep. "I'd rather be safe than sorry to even get in the area of Willa," said Lillie West, a passenger who said she was glad the ship diverted.West had never been to San Diego and said she had 0 to spend locally. The Port says most cruise ships have a 0,000 impact to the local economy in their stops in San Diego, although the Bliss is so big it could be up to million.But not everyone planned to spend their dollars in San Diego, Norman included."I work 45 minutes from here, and I'm just trying to find something to do to make the best of it," she said. For Norman, that was to go back onto the Bliss, the ultramodern ship where many of the amenities are prepaid. 2761

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Father of three boys, Ben Walrath, was excited when he heard baseball practice was starting up again."There's only so much Fortnite they can play," Walrath said, his son Austin, 10, chiming in, "before I get bored." "Before we have to do something different," Walrath continued.He had a talk with his boys about how practice is going to be different to protect them from coronavirus.When quizzed, his sons answered correctly, "no dugout during practice," Austin said. "Stay six feet away." Walrath reminded them, "we're not going to be doing high fives and stuff like that... and no games right away."While Austin wasn't enthused about the new protocol, he was excited to see his friends for the first time in months at practice Monday.President of Sweetwater Valley Little League Arturo Maldonado said they are rolling out practice in three phases. Monday was the beginning of phase one with kids ages 10-15. This weekend phase two will start for kids ages 7-10 and as soon as June 26 the youngest ball players ages 4-7 will get to come back to practice."Everybody's learning how things are going to be done out in the field and that's why we're doing it in three different phases so that we can make adjustments," Maldonado said.He said managers and coaches will be wearing masks, but the kids don't have to. He said the kids will be encouraged to socially distance.There won't be any hugging, high-fives, or sunflower seeds and hand sanitizer is always close by. The dugout will be expanded to the stands, Maldonado said, to accommodate for social distancing.Parents aren't allowed at practice yet and sick players are encouraged to stay home.Monday Walrath said the boys played wiffleball, just as they would any other day."We're not going to change the game of baseball. We're changing how we're watching the game of baseball," Maldonado said.Walrath said safety is a priority for every family. "There's always health concerns in sports, whether that's normal injury concerns. Coronavirus adds a new twist to health concerns and just like with anything else I think this is a personal risk decision for each and every one of our families," Walrath said.Sweetwater Valley Little League has a history of big wins, making it to the Little League World Series in 2015, and Regionals in 2019.Families hope to get their kids some social interaction after months of staying at home and keep them safe. 2426
