Brad Pitt killed federal police officers? Well yes, and no.
The Brad Pitt the world knows is innocent, but the same can’t be said for Marco Antonio Guzman.
Guzman is a career criminal who uses the alias “El Brad Pitt,” on account of a mask he wore while being a lookout for a Mexican drug cartel.
As Reported By The Washington Post:
Marco Antonio Guzman, who had several aliases including “El Brad Pitt,” was captured Wednesday in the U.S. border state of Chihuahua along with two alleged accomplices, according to a federal police statement.
Guzman, 34, was brought to the Mexican capital Thursday and shown, handcuffed, to the news media.
Police said Guzman was involved in the June 15, 2010 car bomb explosion that killed a federal police officer and two civilians.
They also accuse him of being involved in drug-trafficking operations across Chihuahua. The state is one of the worst-affected areas of the drug war. It is the state of deadly Ciudad Juarez, where an estimated 3,100 people were killed in 2010 alone.
A federal official who was not authorized to speak on the record said Guzman’s nickname “El Brad Pitt” comes from a disguise he wore when he served as a lookout for the Juarez cartel.
