Emergency landing in Ohio leads to cocaine discovery, 2 Quebecers arrested
Two men from Mirabel, Québec, were charged Thursday in a U.S. federal court after authorities in Ohio discovered more than 90 kilograms of cocaine inside the small airplane they were flying in when it was forced to make an emergency landing in the United States. The plane landed at Ohio University Airport, in Albany, Ohio, Wednesday afternoon. According to Canadian aviation records, the plane is based in Lachute and is registered to Sylvain Desjardins, of Mirabel. (montrealgazette.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Tabernack! Je suis stupide!
Ne dit pas les excréments quand tu veux dire merde!
The local dialect would be more like "tabarnak s'ti"
ROFL.
"Desjardins has a criminal record in Quebec that includes convictions for drug trafficking".
2 years for trafficing heroin. 14 months for producing and possessing pot.
He gonna find things are different down South of de Border, down Amerigo way (with apologies to Gene Autry).
I wonder if the mechanical problem will affect the plane's price in the asset forfeiture auction.

How could he even have his pilots License or a Medical with drug convictions
Unfortunately there is nothing to stop him from acquiring a pilot's license, and certainly a medical does not require a background check. What I am certain of though is that he would be banned from entering the U.S. with a criminal record, especially the one that he has. It was his intention to land in Windsor (my home airport), I am not certain if he expected to only have a cursory inspection there, but that is still a huge risk. Looks good on him to have this happen and have his plane seized.
RCMP should now be looking very closely at who would have been on duty in Windsor when this aircraft arrived, especially who would have been conducting the Customs inspection. You don't fly in 132 kilos of coke and hope the Customs agent just won't notice.
