Alleged cartel hitman for El Chapo’s sons ‘caught masturbating in public’

A man who claimed to be a drug cartel hitman loyal to Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's sons was caught masturbating in public underneath a parked car.

The bizarre incident took place at around 4am on Monday (June 6) after police in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico noticed the bloke touching himself beneath a grey 2015 Nissan Versa.

The car, which had California licence plates, was parked at an intersection in the Camino Viejo neighbourhood.

The supposed cartel member then threatened Mexicali municipal police officers when confronted about the public pleasuring.

Local news outlets report he told the cops he was a member of "Los Chapitos", warning them that "they don't know who they're messing with".

Unfortunately for the bloke, the police were unfazed by his attempt at grandstanding. He was quickly subdued, arrested and handcuffed.

A search of the Nissan Versa revealed the man had two firearms stashed away, an assault rifle and a handgun.

ZetaTijuana reports that the weapons are the reason he has now been presented to the Federal Public Ministry, suggesting he is facing charges beyond public masturbation.

The supposed Chapito is said to hail from the Ejido Nuevo León of Mexicali.

Los Chapitos are a faction of the infamous Sinaloa Cartel, which remained loyal to El Chapo's sons following his arrest in 2016.

They are locked in a bloody civil war with another faction led by El Chapo's former right hand man Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada.

The Sinaloa Cartel is considered the most powerful drug trafficking organisation on the planet.

Just last week, another Chapito met a different kind of sticky end.
