In the northern city of Mexcali, Gilberto Higuera Guerrero, one of Mexico's most wanted drug traffickers with a $2 Million dollar bounty on his head by the Drug Enforcement Agency, was captured by Mexican police. Considered a legend in drug-trafficking, Guerrero was the head of a cocaine-smuggling agency in Baja, California, and according to the Mexican Attorney General, was responsible for handling 50% of the drugs that crossed the border into the United States. Guerrero would face trial for crimes in Mexico before the possibility of extradition for crimes in the United States.
