I wonder how this FBI bust at a cigar lounge played out

[curtisquatch]

Apparently a Camp Pendleton employee was busted last week for taking bribes, and the arrest went down at a cigar lounge near Miramar. I can't imagine what the scene was like. I know I would have been terrified if I just happened to have been there as it all went down.

No doubt the people who were there have one hell of a story to tell now

Was likely a very low profile approach... Couple of guys in ties show up.. Tell him to put his hands behind his back... Then put him in the back of an unmarked suburban... Then it's all over...

This wasn't a tactical team kicking the door while throwing flash bangs type situation...

Everyone was probably back smoking and joking within 15 minutes.. With something new to talk about for the rest of the day...

Yeah I would think that it may have went unnoticed by a few people. I am sure once the agents walked in the parties involved knew it was the end.

Doesn't seem like agents had any reason to believe he was armed or dangerous and that this was any more than white collar crime ... But they were dressed and/or they approached in a manner that they were recognizable as LE because he dropped the envelop as they approached. 50/50 on whether or not they had firearms drawn.

oh my goodness!

Makes sense that it would have been low profile. Damn movies and television shows plant overly dramatic pictures in my head. And props to KGD for finding this. I just beat him to the posting of it.

Exactly. I seriously doubt it was "blue team go, blue team GO!" :riflefire

Hey man. We can dream.

Though I have seen SWAT kick in somebody's door, that stuff is pretty freaking sweet to see in real life.

 

[mdwest]

Even sweeter when you're the #2 guy in the stack (first through the door)

 

[andrprosh]

That lounge is in San Diego, Miramar road, strip mall tucked in the corner, small lounge actually.

Don't you know you can buy skill? It's directly proportional to the amount of rail covers on your rifle.
