Bristol cops: Wife burns home after drug bust for the ages

BRISTOL TWP., Pa. — Local cops said they made the biggest drug bust in township history when they arrested a suspected illegal alien and her hubby on charges the couple wanted to sell a massive amount of cocaine and marijuana that was stashed inside their Bucks County household.
Jose Fabio Ramos, 47, and 27-year-old Dora Estrada were being held last night on $1 million bail in the Bucks County prison on allegations they possessed, and wanted to peddle, nearly $250,000 worth of dope.
Meanwhile, the couple’s Croydon section township home at 832 Excelsior Ave. was destroyed from a raging fire that cops accuse Estrada of setting about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The home was burned down several hours after it was raided by township, county and federal detectives. The agents scoured the house about 9:15 p.m. Tuesday on a search warrant, according to police, who said they confiscated 1½ kilograms of cocaine, about 25 pounds of marijuana and $10,000 in cash from the dwelling.
Neighbors said they saw Estrada entering and leaving the household with personal belongings several times early Wednesday, according to county authorities. They said Estrada was spotted leaving the house shortly before it burst into flames.
Cops tracked down and arrested Estrada on Wednesday night on arson and drug-peddling charges, according to police. Court papers identified Estrada’s place of birth as Mexico. Federal immigration agents have been notified of her status.
Cops raided Estrada’s home because they busted her hubby about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday on drug charges. Cops allege Ramos sold a half-kilo of cocaine for $16,500 at the CVS pharmacy on the 900 block of Bristol Pike in the township’s Croydon section.
Police said Ramos, also known as Jose Ramos-Acosta, also delivered about 3 pounds of pot in Croydon at the Sunoco gas station on the 500 block of State Road about 10:50 a.m. Jan. 29 in exchange for $3,900.
Lt. Terry Hughes of the Bristol Township Police Department said the arrest of Ramos caps off an investigation that began more than a year ago when cops received intelligence of Ramos’ alleged drug dealing.
Hughes said the federal Drug Enforcement Administration assisted in the investigation by giving township and county detectives “historical information” on the Bucks County illegal drug market and supplying “manpower” for the Tuesday night raid.
Bucks County’s new district attorney, former county judge David Heckler, confirmed that the drug bust was the biggest in township history.
“This was an excellent job of cooperation between the Bristol Township police, the county detectives and the federal DEA,” Heckler told The Trentonian last night.
“I have always viewed drug dealers as parasites,” Heckler added. “In the long run, we do with parasites what needs to be done, which is remove them from our community.”
In the raid and bust operations, cops seized a total of two kilograms of cocaine valued at $167,500 on the street and about 28 pounds of marijuana worth about $80,000 on the street.
Ramos is a legal U.S. resident but must turn over his passport if he posts bail, authorities said. He could serve up to 43 years in prison if convicted on his charges. His wife could serve 17 years on the drug charges on top of 20 years if also convicted for arson.
If Ramos and Estrada produce their $1 million bail, they’d both need to prove that the money came from a legitimate source.
Cops also confiscated several cars from the couple, who were raising two children together, according to Heckler, who said, “Ultimately, they have orphaned two young children by their actions and have been stripped of everything they own.”
Estrada’s two children, one of whom is Ramos’ biological child, are in the custody of family friends unconnected to drug dealing, Heckler said.

DO NOT LEGLALIZE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS
WEST BABYLON, N.Y. — Elizabeth Drummond was a single mother from a hardscrabble family whose roots go back to the Mayflower and an American Indian tribe. The man she married, Segundo Encalada, was a relative newcomer to the United States, sent illegally by his parents from Ecuador when he was 17.
He soon became “Daddy Segundo” to her little boy, coached her through the Caesarean births of two daughters, and worked construction and landscaping jobs here on Long Island to support them all.
But Segundo was not only an illegal immigrant, he also had a criminal history according to the U.S. State Department. Rather than go to jail and then be deported, U.S. immigration authorities, who are extremely lenient toward illegal aliens, instead ordered Segundo to take “voluntary departure” back to Ecuador.
"We try to be fair in every immigration case we receive," said Adriana Gallegos, of the U.S. State Department. "But the problem is that there are tens of millions of illegal immigrants entering this country. Some of these illegals are so violent and destructive that we have no choice but to deport them."
Ms. Gallegos admitted that on occasion this does split up families. "But the choice to come to this country illegally -- and with a criminal history -- is ultimately theirs. We have a responsibility to protect American citizens. Using the United States as a haven for criminal activity is not acceptable."
She added that it's common for illegal aliens, both male and female, to marry American citizens solely to gain legal standing in the U.S. "But this merely shows the cowardly and opportunistic mettle of these illegal cowards," Ms. Gallegos said. "We vow to put an end to this. We want America safe."
WE NEED LEGAL IMMIGRANTS! DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS!
