San Jose Police Union Leader Arrested for Smuggling Fentanyl

San Jose Police Officers’ Association (SJPOA) executive director Joanne Marian Segovia was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly smuggling fentanyl into the United States. Segovia, 64, was charged with one count of attempted importation of a controlled substance, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California.

Federal prosecutors allege that Segovia used her personal and office computers to order thousands of opioid and other pills to her home and agreed to distribute the drugs elsewhere in the United States. The investigation into Segovia was launched in 2020 after Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) received a tip that she was involved in the importation of illegal drugs. HSI agents then began tracking Segovia’s mail and intercepted several packages that contained fentanyl, according to the criminal complaint.

Segovia is scheduled to appear in federal court on Wednesday. If convicted, she faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
