CJNG MEMBER: No, well Don Meño was captured, Meño was captured, the thing is we wanted to close down the exits but the big boss called us and told us that Meño was taken in a helicopter to stand down, that Meño was not in his territory anymore. Meño was taken quickly in a helicopter and that was that. There was no point for us in creating chaos if Meño was gone. All we did was block entrances and exits but the big boss told us to stand down.
