The packages were labeled as &#8220;Wedding Party Gifts&#8221;, &#8220;Gift Cosmetics&#8221;, or &#8220;Chocolate and Sweets&#8221;. Five of the packages that were seized by police, starting in January 2019, contained pills worth thousands of dollars that included the synthetic opioids, Tramadol and Tapentadol.<\/p>\n<p>It is alleged that Segovia coordinated the logistics of receiving and sending the goods using her home and work computers, as well as encrypted WhatsApp communications. WhatsApp is an instant messaging and voice-over-IP service owned by U.S. tech conglomerate Meta.<\/p>\n<p>As per officials, Segovia sent a package using the San Jose Police Association&#8217;s UPS account. Furthermore, it is claimed that she continued to order controlled substances, after being questioned by federal investigators in February. One package, containing valeryl fentanyl and labeled as a &#8220;clock&#8221;, was seized by federal investigators in Kentucky earlier this month.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;Last Friday we were informed by federal authorities that one of our civilian employees was under investigation for the distribution of a controlled substance and the POA has been fully and completely cooperating with the federal authorities as they continue their investigation,&#8221; said San Jose Police Association spokesman Tom Saggau<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Board of Directors expressed their disappointment and concern regarding the news, and have promised to assist the authorities conducting the investigations wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n<p>If found guilty, Segovia could receive a 20-year prison term and a maximum fine of $250,000.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay informed!
