I'd also like to point out that there have been several arrests in this case. All, some, or none may end up indicted- the fact that Garcia was arrested doesn't mean he will be charged. In a "ring" bust like this it's not uncommon for many to be arrested and questioned but only a few to be indicted- that's just part of the legal process. He has stated that he was arrested just because his name was mentioned, which isn't really surprising since he is probably one of the more well-known people in his immediate community.

He might very well end up being indicted and even convicted. But to say at this point that "its not looking good"- well, it's never good to be arrested, but I don't see how you can accurately characterize the situation (unless you are part of the investigation), since they've released few facts and none of the evidence to the public.
