ICE and CBP In Charlotte and Democrats Find Jesus (Hay-Zeus)

A funny thing happened on Tuesday November 11, 2025 at 16:30.....

Leonidas Ismael Alpirez-Ambrocio was arrested on drug and weapons charges. (CMPD Affidavit Below).

His bond was set by Mecklenburg Magistrate Stanley at just $50,000.00. Somewhat low for someone who can't prove his resident status and is arrested on 3 felonies. As they say he's a considerable flight risk.

The following morning he makes a court appearance before Judge Keith Smith and was given a court appointed attorney but his $50,000 bond requirement is left intact. An hour later he is returned to jail.

Then on Wednesday word began to circulate that Charlotte was being targeted for a direct action by ICE and Customs and Border Protection. 

By Thursday both Mecklenburg County Sherriff Garry McFadden and Mayor Vi Liles had issued a statements about the "rumors" and doubling down on their non-cooperation with ICE stance.

At this point Alpirez-Ambrocio has managed to rise enough cash to spring him from the Bote aka Jail.

Then a revelation or a they say someone had a "epiphany" maybe Leonidas Ismael Alpirez-Ambrocio is an illegal alien and should be held for ICE and CBP, or perhaps CMPD and the MCSO found Jesus? Or at least "Hay Zeus". 

Either way in a rare moment of clarity that someone at the MCSO decides maybe we should hold this guy.

A form AOC-CR-663 (CONDITIONS OF RELEASE FOR PERSON WHOM JUDICIAL OFFICIAL IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE TO BE LEGAL RESIDENT OR CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES) is filed.

Others then also agree maybe they should hold Alpires-Ambrocio.

At 5:08 PM Alpirez-Ambrocio posts bail with the help of friends and a bail bondsman.

Minutes later at 5:30 PM a second warrant is issued with 12 additional trafficking charges.

At 9:30 PM that warrant is served and Alpirez-Ambrocio is again processed by MCSO.

At 11:32 PM Magistrate Stokes issues another bond order this time denying bond and ordering that Alpirez-Ambrocio be held until this morning at 10:00 AM.

As of this morning Friday November 14, 2025 Alpirez-Ambrocio remains a guest at the McFadden Hilton. His status can be found here.

It seems that perhaps Alpirez-Ambrocio will be turned over to ICE in the spirt of cooperation?

Clearly had ICE not been on the move this drug trafficking felon would already be back on the streets and perhaps making a run for the border.

CMPD Affidavit

On November 11, 2025, Detective Rodriguez, assigned to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, was continuing narcotics investigation targeting Leonidas Ismael Alpirez- Ambrocio, known individual connected to trafficking cocaine. Alpirez, born on September 14, 1994, had been under investigation for his involvement in cocaine trafficking activities in the

area. On this date, detectives observed Alpirez leaving his residence located at 4337 Dowling Drive. He entered the driver's seat of Silver Ford F150 pickup truck, bearing North Carolina license plate VHP2386. Based on the ongoing investigation, detectives decided to initiate traffic stop

and take Alpirez into custody in connection with prior cocaine trafficking offenses. At approximately 4:13 pm, the vehicle was pulled over, and Alpirez was taken into custody without incident. During the stop, officers observed Ziplock baggie, visible from outside the vehicle, near the driver's door panel. This provided the officers with probable cause to conduct search of the vehicle. 

Upon further inspection, the search yielded approximately 0.6 grams of cocaine, along with several clear plastic baggies commonly used for packaging drugs, which were found near the center console. Following the vehicle search, Alpirez was asked for consent to search his residence. He provided written consent to search his home at 4337 Dowling Drive. During the search of the residence, officers recovered 483.9 grams of cocaine, along with digital scale found on the top shelf of bedroom closet. 

Additionally, in the master bedroom, officers located .45- caliber handgun stolen from Winston Salem NC (Serial Number: T6368-24AB03417). 

At the conclusion of the investigation, Alpirez was read his Miranda rights. After being advised of his rights, he willingly confessed to all charges, claiming ownership of all the narcotics, drug paraphernalia, and the firearm recovered during the search.

NOTE:

Y'all stop cracking on the grammar and spelling errors these Officers and Detectives are working with some pretty old equipment. Some of these errors are created because the program that up loads the reports is via a document scanner and not direct data. At least one scanner hasn't been cleaned in months and creates lines on the uploaded document. When the computer editor tries to upload the transcript it will scramble the sentences because of the lines on the PDF. (Could someone get some Windex and clean the scanners?)
