      • Yeah guess he hates disappointing his customers. Other business owners can learn a thing or two from him about how crucial customer service Is!!

    • This is the most important question. Why didn’t they intercept him when he was getting it from the source, or when he delivers it to the owner if that was his intent. When I see things like this my thought is that they are not really interested in bringing down the real criminal (the person funding the drugs and guns). A pusher can be replaced with another pusher at anytime, go after the money.

  1. Bags neatly packed in the back of the vehicle. He would make a great organizer or supervisor of shelf packers at Epicurean. He got skills that can be put to legal use.

  2. Wellll..his supplier still needs to be PAID…..

    All in jail they will come 4 him

    BUT ??? Smady had to help him bring it in….WHO IS THE BIGGER FISH HERE….

  3. Actually there’s no way he acted ALONE ….I refuse to believe he had money to buy almost 800lbs of RAW COCAINE…..

    HE HAD HELP PLENTY TOO…WHO REALLY BOUGHT THAT COCAINE WHICH BASICALLY SUPPLIES ALL OR MOST OF ANTIGUA DRUG DEALERS….

    Who did the “drop” HE SHOULD RELEASE NAMES HE ALONE CANNOT BE held responsible ONLY…
    THIS IS BIGGER THAN HIM….

    ONE MAN ARRESTED FOR ALMOST 800LBS OF COCAINE….LIEZZZZZZZ

  4. Facial Expression says:
    “Look are you just hurry up and tek me picture see. I have things to do and places to go and are you a kip me back”

    Why law enforcement like to inconvenience people so? eh?

  5. The bigger fishes are the ones working at the airport who helped him get out. Yall better stop acting like y’all don’t know

  6. He was only transporting the goods, one guy there are others, disembarkment point, and destination.
    The officers should have waited to make a bigger catch unless he will bring down others. The law enforcement cannot be too eager at times, (Haste make wast). Yes, it was done in an area less populated no danger to our citizens. Antigua needs cleaning or purging of these acts.
