Small fish. But don’t worry, LEOs will damage shoulders patting themselves on the back for this bust.
Welcome to the Hospitality State, Mr Escobar.
Approximately 24 pounds?
No, it's clearly 10 kilos.
Stop pandering to the lowest common denominator of ignorance.
Chowke's dope boys are sad.
10 keys, Madison PD is partying this weekend. Probably got a few more keys but they didn’t make the report..
@ 5:10.
It's clearly 10 packages. The weight is not evidenced by the photo. If they're one kilogram each that adds up to 22 lbs, which is "approximately" 24 lbs. So knock it off.
5:10, the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.
And, oh, what a war story this will be at the next gathering of the bkue for whatever certification it is up for renewal.
@5:10 PM Yes, 10 kilos (kilograms) is 22 pounds, but the gross weight including packaging comes out of approx. 24 pounds. The exact net weight would have to be determined in a lab.
As an 18 wheeler packed full of cocaine drives by

Post Of The Week Right There Boys...
Hea guys, they took one off the street. Be happy for them.
If you are a semi driver in the USA and your name is Escobar it would be smart to do a name change for your DL. Even if you are running clean that damn truck is going to br searched
5:10 Every nation on the planet except ours has progressed to using the metric system.
And yet the American flag is the only one on the moon. Hmmm......

For all who have had basic science courses, metric measurements are commonplace. Even conversion apps on smart phones can teach common lengths and weights in metric and English systems.
How does anyone know another load passed them by? I’ve heard that for years so if that’s the case your LEO’s would have a way to determine that without hesitation. And if this one had not been driving erratically then he would have made his destination. Sure he is a small fish but any amount off the streets is a positive. Here is my opinion. A dealer is a murderer. Deal with them like they used to and pretty soon it drops off dramatically. And you all know what they did years and years ago to murderers…
@9:52 - These Keyboard Kings can never be happy about anything. They live for a chance to come on here and bash law enforcement, bash the American Way, kick puppies, poor lemon juice on paper cuts, and otherwise show what miserable lives they lead…. Lol. :)
I wonder what the cash value of this would be ?
@11:37 PM
All NASA engineers, including JPL, and everyone involved with the Apollo moonshot used the International Standard for Measurements.
In fact, the Mars Climate Surveyor was lost due to Lockheed Martin using foot pounds in their thruster measurements instead of the International Standard that NASA/JPL and every other contractor uses.
The only holdouts against International Standards for Measurements are the willfully ignorant and uneducated.
The uneducated are the majority in Mississippi because that’s how the MSGOP plantation works best!
@11:37 PM - Our flag was covertly removed by Xiden's FBI using a Chinese space ship. Try to keep up.
Get back on the subject of the post.
This is pretty sad because pure cocaine is one of the least harmful narcotics in moderate consumption. Of course people can get addicted to it just like anything else. But in recreational quantities of no more than a few grams, cocaine is infinitely less physically destructive than liquor.
The Tecate beer logo on each kilo is a nice touch.
Unless you still drive a ‘66 Chevelle, your engine size will be measured in liters
@10:54
Cocaine is safer unless, of course, you are Len Bias
This is no random stop.
@4:34
They never are random stops.
They just can’t openly say they pulled him over because their license plate scanners triggered the stop because that’s unconstitutional.
Like they give a damn though!
Further evidence that nothing will make YOU PEOPLE happy. cocaine is off the streets and youre bitching that its not enough.
There WAS no erratic driving. He was pulled over because the Freightliner is at least nine years old, had no logo on the tractor and more than likely was pulling an unmarked (logo) trailer or either a trailer that was running slicks and no mud flaps or matching headlights.
Would be interesting to note the last time he hit scales in this state. Probably never. His rig was suspicious from the get-go.
I thought "Troopers and Truckers" working together, according to the DIE-rector, was supposed to halt crime.
@10:54.
Caine is safer than liquor u say.
What exactly have u been snorting lately?!?
7:18 is probably the same person that always lets us know that that is is the decoy and the big shipment slipped on by.
I don't know how you know so much about cartel policies, but if what you posit is accurate...what is wrong with catching at least one of the bad guys?
Yes, busting the larger shipment would be prefered but take the win.
For the record, I wish we would just legalize and tax it all.
Wonder how many successful runs he's made?
All these negative comments - especially from those who are obviously druggies - makes me want to urge them to, "Go toward the light, children, go toward the light". (or at least move to the Salton Sea - or Barstow - or Panama - or ANYWHERE away from decent people - preferably someplace without Internet)
