Joanne Marian Segovia, 64, the executive director of the San Jose Police Officers' Association, was charged on March 27 for importing synthetic opioids into the country.

Officials have said Segovia used her personal and work computers to order thousands of pills to her house, which she then sent out all over the United States.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California's office said in a statement that Segovia was caught as part of an ongoing Homeland Security investigation into a network that was shipping drugs into the San Francisco Bay Area from overseas.

Officials allege that Segovia had at least 61 shipments sent to her home between October 2015 and January 2023 from countries like China, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Canada, and Singapore. The shipments were labeled as things like "Wedding Party Favors," "Gift Makeup," or "Chocolate and Sweets."
