There is no basis for the report that the sheriff had an encounter with members of a drug cartel and was subsequently detained by the authorities for his actions. It appears that the whole story is some kind of fabrication
Cartels indeed have a knack for abducting and killing people. However, this story never happened. Violent encounters between law enforcement and drug cartels are not a new thing that is why these false rumours spread like wildfire.
