Ontario man was arrested in Michigan yesterday after police say they seized $1.8 million worth of cocaine from his tractor-trailer.
State troopers stopped the truck in Van Buren County, about 225 km west of Detroit, at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. A car that was believed to be travelling with the truck was also pulled over. Police say the truck driver, an Ontario man, allowed officers to search his cab. Inside, police say they found three large duffle bags with an estimated 63 kilograms of cocaine. The driver was taken into state custody, but has since been handed over to federal officials, who are now investigating the case.
He hasn't been charged, but is likely facing drug charges, said Michigan State Police Sgt. Richard Dragomer. “With the size of the (drug) seizure, any loose ends to be tied up will be put together” before any charges are laid, Dragomer said. Four people in the car accompanying the truck were also taken into federal custody. They identified themselves as Americans, although police were only able to initially confirm that one of them is from Washington. The Ontario man is not expected to be identified by U.S. law enforcement officials until he faces charges in court.
