Well this is a fishing tale for the history books.
The mayor of Tampa, Jane Castor, says she was out fishing in the Florida Keys and reeled in a very unexpected catch.
Yeah, someone just happened to drop $1 million of cocaine in the ocean and this important lady with rich important friends just so happened to pull it out!
"We appreciate the ongoing support from our boating community. Thanks to the efforts of this Good Samaritan, 70 pounds of cocaine are in federal custody and off our streets. We encourage the community to immediately report suspicious activity to local authorities," Assistant Chief Patrol Agent Adam Hoffner said.
That's 25 bricks of cocaine hauled out of the ocean was handed over to Monroe County authorities, and then Miami Border Patrol.
In unrelated news, I just heard that Hunter Biden is taking up scuba diving.
I'm not telling you that the mayor of Tampa somehow staged this, but I should note that there's some people who might smell something fishy and it's all hilarious whatever in the heck happened here.
Supposedly, this sort of thing happens somewhat regularly in this part of Florida. But the odds still seem pretty low, if you ask me!
Ping!...................
Come on down to Florida, I got somethin’ for ya
We could see the kilos or the Keys, baby, oh yeah
Guns in the summertime, chic-a-Cherry Cola lime
Prison isn’t nothing to me, if you’ll be by my side
Pretty wet streets, if this mayor was fishing on it.
It will be in the hands of drug dealers and on the streets before sunset today.
No doubt the cocaine fish jumped in the boat and offered 3 wishes to set it free
What a fishy srory.
I thought The Asylum (Sharknado) guys were working on Meth Gator. But this will do nicely.
Which means around 200 lbs were retrieved and 70 lbs were transferred to the LEOs for PR purposes..
LOL!
>Pretty wet streets, if this mayor was fishing on it.<
It has been raining quite a bit. Climate change,doncha know.
In my neck of the Caribbean, we call it white lobster.
EC
I think it was 100 POUNDS.
But maybe once they dried it out the weight was 70 POUNDS?
Hahaha hahaha
By the time it gets to the incinerator it will be 7 pounds.................
70 pounds of cocaine
Those 35 pounds are on their way to the white house and the secret service as we speak.
