In June 2000, investigators found more than 100 pounds of cocaine on an oil tanker docked at a plant on the Calcasieu Ship Channel near Lake Charles. The cocaine, with an estimated street value of about $6 million, was shipped directly from Colombia. It is believed the shipment was originally to be delivered to Texas City, but due to tight security at the port it was delivered to Lake Charles. ...

Couriers are usually paid on a per shipment basis, which law enforcement estimates at between $1,000 and $2,000.

After the transaction is complete, the courier is phoned and told where to pick up the cocaine. The purchase and transportation of cocaine from Texas-based wholesalers also occurs at highway rest stops or service areas approximately halfwa ... [Read More]
