A “violent” Tren de Aragua gangbanger broke down in hysterics after he and his buddies were busted for robbing a string of Florida liquor stores, cops said.
Ramon Jesus Carpintero-Luna, 26, sobbed like a baby to investigators with his hands cuffed behind his back upon realizing his alleged life of crime had finally caught up with him, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.
The illegal Venezuelan immigrant even dropped to his hands and knees and pleaded for his freedom when cops came knocking.
“He’s not such a big bad guy when he’s locked up. Maybe he’s having visions of El Salvador prisons at some point in time in this future,” Sheriff Grady Judd seethed at a press conference, while proudly displaying the photo of Carpintero-Luna with tears streaming down his face.
Carpintero-Luna was allegedly part of a four-person gang that had been pillaging more than three dozen liquor stores across central Florida — a violent scheme that raked in upwards of $30,000.
The bandits would often rob the stores of their “scotch and high-end liquor,” at gunpoint,” cops said.
