Guzman Loera became a worldwide phenomenon over the summer when, as reported byBreitbart Texas, he carried out a brazen escape from one of Mexico’s maximum security prisons by using a motorcycle to drive through a mile long tunnel. The escape was further aided by guards who had been playing video games instead of checking the video feeds of the cell.
The flawless escape was seen as a slap in the face of Mexican authorities since it is the second time that Guzman Loera has been able to escape from one of the most secure prisons in that country.
Just last month, authorities came close to catching him after the capo sent his henchmen to bring him a pet monkey Breitbart Texas reported. The monkey named “Boots” is the favorite pet of his young daughters who according to Mexican news outlets had begged the drug lord to bring.
