"An undercover FBI agent bought two pounds of marijuana from Collins in October of 2017, according to the DOJ. Collins told the agent he could provide a ton of marijuana each month.

"The following month, they arranged to have hims escort a shipment of what he believed to be 45 pounds of cocaine and 13 pounds of methamphetamine, along with marijuana and counterfeit cigarettes from Pasadena to Las Vegas, prosecutors said.

"Collins also bragged that he could intimidate and assault people, claiming to have had recently torched an $85,000 Cadillac truck on behalf of one of his 'clients,' McEvoy said.

"While entering his guilty plea, Collins admitted to stealing $160,000 in cash in a separate incident. He conducted an illegal traffic stop on a car after learning it contained a large amount of money, prosecutors said. He then kept the money and never reported the encounter, or the cash seizure, to the Sheriff’s Department."
