No doubt, he was wearing a snazzy-looking jogging suit

This blurb appeared in the U-T on Sunday:

Top trafficking suspect captured: Suspected drug trafficker José Filiberto “La Perra” Parra Ramos was captured Wednesday in Tijuana and flown Thursday to Mexico City. Mexican military officials said the former Tijuana police officer played a key role in the war between rival drug gangs that brought major violence to Tijuana last year. Officials said Parra was a top lieutenant to Eduardo Teodoro “El Teo” García Simental, a suspected trafficker who apparently broke with the Arellano Félix cartel last year. Tijuana's Zeta newspaper reported May 22 that Tijuana Mayor Jorge Ramos, on one of his runs to Zona Norte taco stands, was whisked away without getting a chance to eat after his security team saw Parra nearby.

(italics, ours)

For any of you familiar with the neighborhoods and the uh, business zoning of TJ will understand just how hilariously priceless that last sentence is.
