Freddy Loya

Born in Texas, raised in Mexico. 91, I got here in the Massachusetts.

Honestly, he was polite and he didn't have no reason to pull us over, you know. So he explained to me I'm kind of on a task force to combat all these opioids and pills, smuggling and dealing, you know, like he was doing a good thing.

So it got to the point where if we'd be here for a week, we'd get pulled over four times in a week, you know, trying to search for drugs and drugs and pills.

I said, what? No, he didn't. Yes, he did. Freddy, I saw him. So I opened the middle compartment and checked for the pills. The pills weren't there.

I mean, I was... Pissed, I ain't gonna lie. I was pissed. So I go and made a laugh to him and he's sitting inside his car. He doesn't even bother. He's just like sitting over here. What do you want? Talking to me like he's the big boss or something. I said, I want my pills back. I said, those are not your pills.

Those are my wife's pills and she's gonna be pissed on me if I don't got those pills when I get back.

So he's like, well, you're going to help me out. He wanted to know what people is bringing drugs into the workforce. I said, I don't know nothing about it, you know.

What can you do? Put a complaint on the police, to the captain of the police? Nothing's going to happen.

It could have just been some alcohol-infused bravado. But to hear him tell it, there were honest conversations about violent revenge. And around this time, early one morning in September 2017...

Well, that night, it was the end of a long day for me.

I think I was like minutes away when I got the call.

He calls me and he tells me there's a cop in here. And now he's searching. I asked him, how does this cop look? So he starts describing me the cop. And it's exactly the description of Santos. And then he tells me, but he's not wearing a uniform.

First of all, I'm upset. I started getting upset and mad immediately, you know. Second of all... As I am on the call, you know, I realize that he's doing this illegally and that he's not on duty, you know? So that's when I asked to call 911.

Oh, I finally got you, motherfucker. Yeah, I'm never going to forget that. Yeah, finally he made that mistake that I was kind of waiting, you know.
