Stan "Shoes" Holbrook (Cota Enforcer) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The "G" Men: Muck-raking takes on a whole new perspective when the President issues an executive order to deport all criminal non-US citizens. Our job just got easier. The Task Force has swept in quickly with a series of raids to arrest and deport multiple members of the local crime families. Today was another sweep by our group.

Here was a good news - bad news kind of situation. One of our reliable CI's contacted us to say that Shoes had just gone into the Federal Savings Bank. We decided to wait for him to come out and nab him.

There were innocent bystanders in the area. When Shoes came out, he "made" us right away. He grabbed the nearest person in the crowd in an effort to use her as a human shield...

Only problem? He grabbed Del Armstrong's wife. Del happens to be a former NFL lineman and is every bit as mean and physical (and crazy) as a football player can be. When Jennie screamed, Del went into action. Shoes wound up laying on the pavement, unconscious with a broken jaw.

Del's gonna have a ceremony in his honor for his heroism in the situation. The Mayor himself will present the award.

Shoes is gonna suck soup through a straw for six to eight weeks....

Geocache Description:




Special Agent this is your task:


Three crime families have joined forces to create a vast underworld syndicate. They are led by the notorious Geno "John" Amato. The supply and demand for illegal goods and services is undermining public morals, neutralizing law enforcement through corruption, and infiltrating the legal economy. Local law enforcement has been unable to reduce the threat. Appropriate countermeasures must be taken! **Coords for the GC4GMVQ Anthony "Tony 2-step" Amato (Amato Family Boss) maybe hidden in this cache. Always look and take notes**
