Erick Morales Guevara, also known as 'El Marino Loko' (Crazy Marine) and The Hammer, spends a great deal of time and effort not just apprehending members of notorious drug cartels but ruining their reputations as well, while at the same time getting under the skin of the miscreants who remain at large.
To this end, he often resorts to unorthodox and perhaps somewhat questionable methods, which nevertheless produce impressive results in the form of important arrests along with cash, drug and weapon seizures.

But it was one particular method which has made Guevara immensely popular on the Internet: seeking to deal a blow to the manly and masculine image of cartel gunmen, he often dresses them up in women’s lingerie and forces them to kiss each other.

Some even consider him ‘the Mexican Eliot Ness’,

while others want to buy the stalwart marine a drink.
