Thrillist just lately revealed an article about two passengers arrested on the Norwegian Pleasure with 112 plastic baggies of pot, totaling roughly 160 kilos, originally of a cruise from Miami to Southampton.
In keeping with the article, drug enforcement officers approached two passengers, Michael Quesenberry and Savannah Rose Minami as soon as they board the NCL cruise ship on the Port of Miami on January 11, 2024. Ms. Minami claimed they that didn’t know one another and had simply met at a bar on the cruise ship. However their story shortly started to crumble after drug canines alerted on Mr. Quesenberry’s baggage the place the officers discovered 56 vacuum-sealed baggies of weed. Quesenberry tried to say that the pot was for his private use. The DEA officers then questioned Ms. Minami once more and reportedly discovered one other 56 plastic baggage of weed in her baggage in her cabin.
A particular agent employed by the U.S. Homeland Safety who arrested and charged the pair with drug trafficking wrote in an affidavit in help of the criminal complaint (through Court Watch): “Primarily based on my coaching and expertise, drug traffickers are more and more turning to exportation of marijuana from the US to England, as a result of larger worth of marijuana in England.”
Drug busts for cocaine on cruise ship will not be significantly uncommon. However I’ve by no means seen two individuals arrested for possessing the very same quantity of such a big amount of weed.
