None of the provided sources mention Alejandro Caranza Medina, a guilty plea, or a scheme to steal confiscated weapons; the search results concern unrelated Medina cases. The claim is also a restatement of the passage's content, which is the claimant's own words and cannot corroborate it, so the claim cannot be graded in either direction.
What was said
… at the time he made these remarks, said that Caranza Medina might have been involved with drugs intermittently, as many fishermen are forced to because poverty leaves them little else in terms of work, per reporting from El Heraldo and The New York Times.

Behind the Bastards · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The sources cover unrelated individuals named Medina (e.g., Alford plea cases, Georgia habeas case, Arizona firearms indictments) and do not address Caranza Medina or any weapons-theft plea.[1][2][3][4]
Context. The only passage making the claim is the claimant's own post, which is not evidence for it; no independent record in the sources confirms or refutes the guilty plea.
