An accused narco queen and her boyfriend were the alleged masterminds behind a drug ring that funneled fentanyl and methamphetamine into crime-ridden MacArthur Park, bombshell charges revealed. Mallaly Moreno-Lopez and beau Jackson Tarfur allegedly controlled a string of storefronts along Alvarado Street on the park’s perimeter that were responsible for the lion’s share of illegal narcotics feeding desperate addicts that flooded the park daily, prosecutors said. A swarm of Drug Enforcement Agency officers raided the couple’s South Los Angeles home on Wednesday as part of a broader operation that led to nearly 40 arrests and the recovery of millions of dollars in potentially deadly drugs.
