| Detroit Men Accused In 5,000-Pound Drug Bust www.clickondetroit.com POSTED: 5:29 pm EST February 17, 2004 UPDATED: 5:39 pm EST February 17, 2004 Thousands of pounds of marijuana found in the back of a tractor-trailer has two Detroit men behind bars, Local 4 reported. Henry William, 53, and Otis Bryant, 72, were taken into custody in New Mexico after police allegedly found 5,000 pounds of marijuana inside the tractor-trailer they were driving Saturday. The street value of the drugs was estimated at more than $5.5 million. Police say the drugs were stashed by a small load of rotting potatoes. A truck inspector, who noticed a discrepancy in the driver's paperwork, called a nearby police officer to search the trailer. The officer uncovered the massive amount of marijuana, according to Local 4 reports. William and Bryant were arrested and face federal drug charges. The Drug Enforcement Agency called the arrest a huge victory in the ongoing war on drugs. "Anytime you get 2 1/2 tons of any drug, including marijuana, you have a very large seizure. It was an excellent job by MTD, the officer was alert, obviously found a good load, a big load," said DEA Special Agent Evelyn Kigles. The DEA says it's not clear exactly where the men were heading with the marijuana. Authorities say it was one of the largest drug busts in New Mexico history. Copyright 2004 by ClickOnDetroit.com.

| While they were processing this bust, ten more truck loads probably passed by in the background. The fact that they actually give each other kudos is hilarious. Dennis |

I agree with Dennis on this one. 5000 pounds of it is a lot, but nothing compared to the amount put into the country every damn year, you need about 100 more bust like that to make a difference. |

| Instead of going after murders, rapists, child abusers, drunk drivers ect. They go after the simple non-violent people. Think about it, something like 50% of people in US prisons are there for victomless pot charges. |
