Lol, oh man that would have been a good one. All hell almost broke loose today after news started to circulate of Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman escaping from prison. The story actually turned out to be a hoax, but it was fun for a moment. Hit the jump.
The story goes like this from the fake ABC News site…
“Early this morning, drug kingpin Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, head of the Sinaloa Cartel, escaped from the Altiplano maximum security prison once again.
It is unclear at this point what exactly happened, but these are the details ABC News has received from Mexican officials so far:2:35 AM: Guzmán was taken in restraints by two prison guards on a routine cell transfer.
3:05 AM: Prison staff could not locate Guzmán or the two prison guards’s whereabouts. The prison was put on lockdown as personnel went looking for them.
4:15 AM: A prison van was found abandoned only a mile away from the prison. Mexican officials believe the two guards, who began working at the prison just months ago, were actually members of the Sinaloa Cartel working for Guzmán.”
…and so on and so forth.
Could you imagine what would have happened? El Chapo is currently awaiting his extradition to the United States. Great.
