The DEA officers sustained gun shot wounds. Miguel Sanchez, Rico Rodriguez, and Roberto Cortez. At 10.17pm Sanchez opened fire on the DEA office, John Smith, and in the ensuing gunfight three of the cartel members were fatally shot. At 10.00pm The Amertide docked, and the transfer of cocaine was taking place when one member of the cartel, Miguel Sanchez, recognized a DEA officer on the dock. The units at POH would record the entire transaction, audio on Crash and hidden video.Īt 8.45pm we were able to ascertain the arrival of the MS-AmberTide, and subsequentlyat 9.02pm staged our officers around the dock assigned to her arrival. This unit would make the arrests upon arrival at their distribution centre. The plan was that the members of the Iron Crusaders, including Crash, would take possession of the cocaine, and exit the Port. Twenty-five Officers were tasked to the operation, which was run with cooperation from the POHPD and the HPD. Brooks staged undercover officers at the dock, and in the POH offices. Brooks, but not the exact time of docking, or when the transfer of the cocaine would occur. Crash had managed to get the date, and the location of the dock to Agt. With the ability to arrive at the same time as a large shipment of cocaine arrived would enable us to prosecute with no chance of failure. The location of the Iron Crusader’s primary distribution centre was information that this investigation had been seeking for many months. The members of the inner circle of the Iron Crusaders had chosen Crash to be part of the crew who would meet the Cartel boat at the POH container site, and transport the cocaine to its distribution site. As a non-vested member of the Iron Crusaders, Crash was tasked to be involved in any activity that would expedite his membership as a Prospect. This shipment was from the Columbian Cartel, and he had been picked as part of a crew to meet this shipment.Ĭrash had been infiltrated with the Iron Crusaders for six months as part of the Phoenix Black operation. On February 20, 1993, UC Asset Designation ‘Car Crash’ – RC 99372, from here on referred to as ‘Crash’, notified DEA Officer Brooks that the Outlaw Motor Cycle Gang, Iron Crusaders, was to take possession, for distribution, of a large cocaine shipment coming into the Port of Houston. REPORT RE: CASE DEVELOPMENT / TERMINATION OF UC ASSET DESIGNATION ‘CAR CRASH’ – RC-99372 In other words, it wasn’t Rust’s fault that the deal went bad.Īnyways, here is the police report on the drug deal gone bad between the Iron Crusaders and the Columbian Cartel that resulted in Rust Cohle being shot three times and left for dead by the Iron Crusaders who got away, followed by the letter from the Attorney General of Texas: It was interesting to me to find out that the shoot out at the Port of Houston in which Rust “Car Crash” Cohle got shot three times, went bad because an undercover DEA agent on the scene was spotted by a member of the Columbian Cartel, who then opened fire. The only reference to Cohle’s personal life was made by Texas Attorney General David Smith, who said in his letter to Cohle, “I am aware of your tragic loss and subsequent divorce.” I was hoping there might be a suggestion that Rust’s daughter didn’t die after being hit by a car while riding her tricycle to perhaps save my now seemingly far-fetched theory that Rust has been looking into his daughter’s disappearance/murder from the get go. (And it does so with wonderful faux microfiche images! Kudos to the True Detective production team for giving a sh!t and making every aspect of this show, including extracurricular investigative work, sooooo much fun!) On HBO’s website for the show, they have a brief slideshow that contains the official files surrounding Rust Cohle’s undercover case against the Iron Crusaders which resulted in him being shot, as well as a letter from the Texas Attorney General after Rust shot a junkie injecting meth into his infant daughter in an attempt to “purify” her.Īs I mentioned above, there doesn’t appear to be too much revelatory information in the reports, but I think it does fill in some gaps as far as Rust’s background goes. The online True Detective detective phenomenon is so rampant (and so damned thorough!) that tossing out additional Yellow King theories and potential clue-ridden screen caps at this point seems a bit silly - and unjustifiably pretentious given my limited abilities.īut, I did run across something that not many other sites seemed to have picked up on, probably because there don’t appear to be any references to the Yellow King, groups of five men, or names that are anagrams for something seemingly significant. With HBO’s True Detective set to wrap up later tonight with its eighth and final episode, I really wanted to try to share my obsession in some form one last time.
