Margarito Soto Reyes, 44, was detained along with eight alleged accomplices near the western city of Guadalajara

Margarito Soto Reyes, 44, was detained along with eight alleged accomplices near the western city of Guadalajara, but could not immediately specify when or in what circumstances the capture occurred.
Police said Soto Reyes allegedly traded in synthetic drugs on routes established by former Sinaloa leader Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel, who was killed in a gunbattle with soldiers in July.
"Intelligence reports indicate that amid the reorganization within the Sinaloa cartel after the death of Ignacio Coronel ... 'The Tiger' was able to use the so-called Southern Pacific route" presumably operated by Coronel, a federal police statement said.
It said officers seized drugs, weapons and cash during the arrests of Soto Reyes and his alleged accomplices. Those detained included a man who allegedly posed as a veterinarian to acquire precursor chemicals for synthetics drugs like methamphetamines, and two women who allegedly helped operate a synthetic drug lab.
Also Saturday, police in the northern state of Chihuahua announced they had found the bodies of six men piled in a sport utility vehicle on a roadside in a remote, southern area of the state. The men had all apparently been shot in the head. And in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, unidentified assailants dumped the hacked-up body of a man on a street.
Elsewhere, mourners and officials held a wake for a mayor shot to death Thursday in a small town near the northern city of Monterrey.
Mourners mounted honor guards around the coffins of Mayor Prisciliano Rodriguez Salinas and his aide in the town of Doctor Gonzalez, where the two were slain.
