1. On January 7, 2020, Trooper Deryck Lewis with the Florida Highway Patrol conducted a window tins traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Elizabeth Espinoza. The 27-year-old Espinoza told Lewis that she was on her way back from a trip to Texas — where, unfortunately, she had lost her driver's license. As Espinoza wrote down her information for Lewis, the trooper confirmed his suspicion with a tint meter: the windows were unlawfully dark.

   But that wasn't all the trooper was after. Trooper Chris Nottingham arrived on scene with his K9 partner "Flip," for a free-air sniff around Ms. Espinoza's vehicle. Flip alerted, and Sergeant Joshua Malloy and Trooper Eric Schaub arrived on scene to assist in the vehicle search. While the search was underway, Espinoza utilized her cell phone to make a number of phone calls.

   During those calls, Espinoza was recorded stating in Spanish, "I'm on my way back. They're checking everything. They haven't found it yet, but they will. I'm not under arrest yet, but they're checking everything. I'm going to lose everything, everything. I'm not getting out of this one. They got the dog on me. They found it."

   As if the 26 pounds of cocaine were not incriminating enough.

   Espinoza was federally prosecuted, and was ultimately sentenced to 24 months in prison to be followed by 36 months supervised release. Espinoza was permitted to self-report to prison after January 1, 2021, a few months after her sentencing, however Espinoza got an earlier-than-planned involuntary check-in after she was arrested on December 5, 2020, for battering her live-in boyfriend, who is also the father of her children. Espinoza was out again by January 1, 2022… when she was once again arrested for domestic battery.

2. Always keep a cat in the car when transporting so it can be used for the reason for alert

3. Let her goes we need her

4. That’s a fooking set up!! Absolutely it is!! For a tint?

5. 10:54 Hank Schrader 😂

6. My heart breaks for her children. I pray that she eventually has a has a happy ending and is able to make a living without breaking any laws. Excellent police work!

7. They were tipped off for sure.

8. If she had had her stuff together would she have been caught , yes as the second officer arrives too soon it’s a smuggler interdiction.. there using traffic stops to catch smugglers …

9. If we are seeing this video it’s clearly obvious she didn’t tell on nobody so she’s going away for a long time.

10. BULLSHIT THEY ASS ALWAYS FUCKING WITH EVERYBODY 😳😳😭😅🙏🏽

11. I miss these criminals who are very aware and excepting of their charges and I’ll come and not blaming anybody and taking full responsibility the way it should be. She handled it better than most thugs nowadays congrats to her but God bless her and her time

12. Transporting so much drugs without a license and with tinted windows. Not the best or brightest

13. On the phone when speaking Spanish she said nothing about "they haven't found it yet but they will".

14. Damn they have all the cameras on their cars. The side cameras are… yeah they suck but I guess they’re not super important

15. Ugghhhaaa that feeling I know she had when they pulled her over knowing what she had in the trunk …. damn and it's not hers…ooowee…stay up 🙏💪💯💯💯

16. 26 lbs of coke only gets you 24 months in Florida?

17. Some real crap stories going around

18. another tragic waste of perfectly good coke

19. Lawyer up! i bought this car and they found 26 lbs of blow in it that isn't mine is about all you can try 🤮

20. GREAT JOB FLORIDA PATROL! ! ! Get em Boys!!

21. Hmm interesting 🤔.

22. If she sees this fight this to the fullest because THEY can't just walk the dog around with out anything. He didn't say anything about suspicious activities to her before running that dog. 😭😭😭😭

23. I love when cops pull over people for such minor infractions and then turn it into a drug bust.

24. Well how silly is she…

25. They're about to put her away longer than they put away child molesters

26. Not a graduate of Yale.

27. Note to self, never pass a cop while hauling 26 lbs of cocaine

28. A kilo is 2.2 pounds. Ten kilos is 22 pounds. The extra 4 pounds was probably a volume discount.

29. She was snitched on or wire tapped without a doubt.

30. wonder how much money she was paid to transport the poison . was it worth it. 😀

31. Yeah right lol

32. People are so stupid when they have children and don't think about what they are putting them through. Crazy 😢

33. Come on now… you can't transport large quantities of drugs in a vehicle with excessive tint. That's a rookie mistake. The tint law is a perfect excuse to stop people and search their vehicle, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS

34. Yup she got snitched on. When they snitch the DEA notifies the highway patrol or local police so they can have an excuse and say the local pd or highway patrol had probable cause( because of dark window tint) too pull vehicle over so that the snitch isn't compromised.

35. I grew up in Ruskin LOL!!!!!!!!

36. He said forget that no license ticket you got bigger things to worry about.

37. Why search the vehicle for window tint

38. when he said step out if u want. that's when you stay put.

39. Damn,hits her with window tint ticket after finding bricks……what a guy

40. they both acted extremely professional, im sure shes been told exactly what to do incase she gets stopped. with that much cargo, cartel smuggler no doubt

41. She cannot be doing anything illegal, she is a minority.

42. Yeah I would be puking too if I got caught with 20 pounds of COCAINE. I'm not gonna charge you with the license thing THX BRO LOL

43. how is she so calm

44. She only got 2 years for 26 lbs of COCAINE?! She is definitely in protected custody after giving up some major people. Just imagine how many other mules out there transporting drugs. Just shows you the war on drugs was lost a long time ago.

45. Wow good job brother

46. Salute to the cops for their professionalism. RIP to her life…
