Undercover officer Darren Monahan emotionally recounted a tense methamphetamine bust involving a dealer named Ben. Working closely with FBI and DEA agents, Monahan posed as a buyer, initially purchasing small amounts before arranging to buy five pounds of meth. The deal took place in a tense Richmond neighborhood, where Monahan was invited into Ben’s apartment—where Ben’s wife and children were present.
Monahan described how the dealer and his associates tested his trust, initially offering less than the agreed amount. After surveillance confirmed the full drug shipment was staged, Monahan pressed for the complete five pounds. Inside the apartment, guns including an AK-47 were openly displayed on kitchen counters and beds, heightening the risk.
Despite the danger, Monahan stayed composed and coordinated with SWAT positioned outside. The dealer signaled a “bus” code alerting officers to move in just as Monahan was about to pay. The emotional weight of the operation struck Monahan as he balanced enforcement with understanding the dealer’s desire to protect his family.
