Nearly Half a Million Dollars Worth of Cocaine Found Inside Nose of Airplane in Oklahoma
Tony Montana airlines arriving in Tulsa right on schedule.
I am not sure if it's shocking news that a plane from Columbia had cocaine on it. I expect trace amounts of cocaine coming from every flight out Colombia. The plane arrived in Miami and was flagged upon arrival for some maintenance issues. So the plane was sent to Tulsa where American Airlines has a maintenance base.
While employees were doing maintenance, they discovered something strange in the nose of the plane. They thought it was a piece of insulation. Turns out it was a brick of cocaine. Seven bricks of cocaine were later found by Tulsa police. The street value is around $434,000 for the cocaine seized.
