Photos: Police discover $18M worth of cocaine disguised as Bananas being shipped to a Texas prison farm

By -
Agents with U.S. Customs and the Drug Enforcement Administration have seized $18 million dollars’ worth of cocaine disguised as banana heading to a prison in Texas.  

According to reports, the Wayne Scott Unit Prison Farm outside of Freeport, Texas, received a couple pallets of bananas as a donation. When two sergeants went to pick up the pallets, they found the drugs.  

“One of the sergeants noticed one of the boxes didn’t seem quite right, looked a little further, removed that box off the pallets, looked inside and saw something extraordinarily suspicious,” Jeremy Desel with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice told KTRK.  

Hidden under bundles of bananas were 540 kilos of cocaine. USCB and DEA agents reported to the scene and seized the drugs. DEA agent Wendell Campbell said it’s just the latest attempt to smuggle drugs in strange ways. He has seen heroin hidden in a car axle, re-sealed cans of iced tea with liquid methamphetamine inside, and meth attached to car rims.

Zambian President Wants U.S. Ambassador Out Of The Country For Defending Gay Couple

Zambian President Edgar Lungu wants the U.S. ambassador to leave the country after the diplomat criticized the African state for sentencing a gay couple to 15 years behind bars for having a consensual relationship. “We have complained officially to the American government, and we are waiting for their response because we don’t want such people in our midst,” Lungu said Sunday in comments broadcast on state-owned ZNBC TV. “We want him gone.” U.S. Ambassador Daniel Foote said last month that he was “personally horrified” after the high court sentenced the two men and called on the government to reconsider laws that punish minority groups. The move was particularly disturbing as “government officials can steal millions of public dollars without prosecution,” Foote said. The U.S. provides $500 million in aid to Zambia yearly, according to Foote. “We are saying no to homosexuality,” Lungu said in comments broadcast by Sky News earlier this month. “When you are tying it to aid, if that is h...

American Rapper Cardi B And Offset Buy $6 Million Atlanta Mansion

Cardi B (real name Belcalis Marlenis Almanzarand) and Offset (real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus) just bought a home in suburban Atlanta that can only be described as a freaking castle! Located in Sandy Springs, Georgia roughly 20 minutes outside of Atlanta, Cardi and Offset showed off their mansion earlier tonight in a series of Instagram videos that set the social media world on fire. The transaction must have JUST gone down because the property hasn't officially closed in the multiple listing service. The house was most-recently listed for $5.795 million, but it's not clear how much Cardi and Offset paid. It's been on the market for 266 days as of this writing, so it's doubtful they paid full price. Offset and Cardi currently have a combined net worth of $50 million, with $24 coming from Cardi and $26 coming from Offset. v https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OrPaURfT5c
