fisherman finds 50lbs of cocaine floating in Gulf of Mexico * 3
    #22062933 - 08/08/15 02:30 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

August 6, 2015



CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla
. -- Fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico are used to coming back with spectacular catches, but one Charlotte County police detective reeled in more than just the usual grouper.

According to a video posted to the department's Facebook page, the officer in question caught a 50 lbs bail of cocaine floating in the Gulf.

"While out fishing yesterday evening, one of our detectives caught more then he was expecting. He located a package floating in the Gulf of Mexico more than 20 miles offshore," Sheriff Bill Prummell says in the video. "That package turned out to be more than 50 lbs of uncut powdered cocaine."

The video goes on to say that the cocaine has been turned over to federal authorities, and they are working to figure out where the cocaine came from. As for how much all that cocaine is worth, Sheriff Prummell puts the uncut value at $2.5 million, and the street value at more than $10 million.

Good thing he turned those 50lbs of coke over to the Feds.  Probably belonged to them, anyway.

Once again, there's a clear pattern of drugs washing up in Galveston, Texas.

Already made a post about this:

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21725688#21725688

Friggin ridiculous.  With the amount of people turning in their found drugs, I wonder how many people are keeping/getting rich off of drugs they find on the beach?

$454,000 if it's sold at $20/g.  If you set yourself up with a middle man who then stands to profit ridiculously, cut that figure in half, sell for $10/g then you only make about $225,000.  Just because you live in Galveston. 

I thought about moving.  I don't think it's worth it.  You'd have to live in Texas.

how do they always know and or assume it's always cocaine just because it was floating from the gulf of Mexico? Could be just any UPS box?

Indeed, it certainly seems that way. Going by what I've seen posted here, it's actually a bit cheaper than it was in the late 80's or so. That should tell you something.

I don't do coke but I would've saved that for retirement.

Step 1: Stare at this for 30 seconds

Step 2: Look at this after following step one

Step 3: Enjoy the mini trip :trippinbawelz:

And then they turned around and sold it.

There wasn't a return address?  I mean he coulda been nice and contacted the shipper and said he'll forward the 35lb package to the recipient.
:rofl:
