ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. — A popular Union County teacher and coach was killed in a shootout last week with a Mexican drug cartel, according to the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office.

 

Barney Harris was the basketball coach at Union Academy in Monroe where he was well-loved and respected, but Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said there was another side to Harris that most people didn’t see -- one that was involved in the dangerous and deadly drug world.

 

Channel 9 learned Harris and his brother-in-law, Steven Alexander Stewart, went to a mobile home park on Wyatt Road in Green Level, North Carolina in the early morning hours of April 8 to steal money and drugs from the Sinaloa Cartel’s stash house.

 

Johnson said the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office was flooded with calls just after 12:50 a.m. in reference to reports of gunshots being heard at the mobile home park.

 

When they got there, deputies said they found Harris in a bedroom with several gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

Investigators said 18-year-old Alonso Beltran Lara, who was a member of the cartel, was also found with gunshot wounds. Deputies said his feet were bound and his arms were tied behind his back. He was taken to a hospital where he later died.

 

Detectives said Harris and Stewart broke into a trailer and Lara showed up while they were inside. Deputies said the men questioned Lara about the stash and when he didn’t give them the answers they wanted, they shot him in the head.

 

“And they were trying to find the money and drugs and apparently he didn’t give them the information to do that and he was technically close range, two bullets to the back of the head, he was executed,” Johnson said.

 

Johnson said after the pair killed Lara, other members of the cartel showed up and Harris was killed in the gun fight that followed.

 

According to Johnson, dozens of bullet casings were found at the scene. Some pierced through other trailers in the community, but no other injuries were reported.

 

“The trailers that were shot up, it looked like an old Western shootout, that’s what it looked like,” Johnson said.

 

The sheriff said Harris was wearing a bulletproof vest but that it was no match for the high-caliber firepower of the cartel’s guns.

 

“Mr. Harris, he had a bulletproof vest on, but it did not work with the kind of ammunition that was used,” Johnson said. “He had gloves on, and he, they went there to do what was done except they did not think it was going to backfire on them.”

 

Detectives believe Harris and Stewart had been using electronic trackers to follow members of the cartel before the shootout.

 

Johnson said Stewart, who is from Wadesboro, survived the shooting and was arrested on Sunday. He has been charged with first-degree burglary, first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.

So has Hollywood bought the rights to it?

Don't get high on your own supply, or else you get the idea to rob a cartel stash house in the middle of the night. 

This happened at Houston Lamar. Around 2000, the well-respected chemistry teacher was busted for cooking drugs.

If it ain't a mess, it'll do til one gets here.

I’m not from the hood, but from what I gather from television there are a few rules of the drug trade.

- don’t rip off the cartel 

-  don’t snitch

Yeah I'm having a hard time thinking of a worse group to fuck with. What exactly was the game plan? Steal a bunch of drugs and money from a cartel and lay low for a minute? Brilliant!
