Marijuana falls from the sky in Caddo Mills

Reminds me of the time a small plane ran off the end of the runway at a small airport in Plano. The DEA guy told us the pilot was probably high from all the pot fumes in the plane.


Associated Press
CADDO MILLS -- It was raining marijuana in a rural area of east Texas.
Hunt County Undersheriff Joe Knight says rural homeowners near Greenville reported hearing duffel bags filled with what appeared to be marijuana thud onto their roofs early Monday.
Knight said his department was advised about 5:30 a.m. Monday to watch for a low-flying aircraft. A single-engine plane was found abandoned in a field beside a runway at Caddo Mills Municipal Airport about two hours later.
No injuries or damage was reported. Knight said the public has turned in four black nylon duffel bags filled with what appeared to be high-grade, hydroponic marijuana. Deputies found two other bags of pot in the plane.
A man is in custody for questioning, but no charges have been filed in the case.
Caddo Mills is about 35 miles northeast of Dallas.

& Immediatly upon hearing this Willie Nelson stopped his tour bus and headed straight to Caddo Mills. Now searching for the mexican superhero known as El Kabong..... a Robin Hood-style figure from 19th-century Mexican folklore who is revered by drug smugglers across the land.
