Thrillist simply these days revealed an article about two passengers arrested on the Norwegian Pleasure with 112 plastic baggies of pot, totaling roughly 160 kilos, in the beginning of a cruise from Miami to Southampton.
In line with the article, drug enforcement officers approached two passengers, Michael Quesenberry and Savannah Rose Minami as quickly as they board the NCL cruise ship on the Port of Miami on January 11, 2024. Ms. Minami claimed they that didn’t know each other and had merely met at a bar on the cruise ship. Nonetheless their story quickly began to disintegrate after drug canines alerted on Mr. Quesenberry’s baggage the place the officers found 56 vacuum-sealed baggies of weed. Quesenberry tried to say that the pot was for his non-public use. The DEA officers then questioned Ms. Minami as soon as extra and reportedly found one different 56 plastic baggage of weed in her baggage in her cabin.
A specific agent employed by the U.S. Homeland Security who arrested and charged the pair with drug trafficking wrote in an affidavit in help of the jail criticism (by the use of Courtroom docket Watch): “Based mostly totally on my teaching and experience, drug traffickers are increasingly turning to exportation of marijuana from the US to England, because of elevated worth of marijuana in England.”
Drug busts for cocaine on cruise ship normally will not be notably unusual. Nonetheless I’ve not at all seen two people arrested for possessing the exact same amount of such a giant quantity of weed.
