$10 Million Drug Bust In Northern Michigan

Aircraft Dropped Several Bags On A Runway, Left With One

Customs and Border Protection said it started watching an airplane on a hunch Friday night, but it turned into a $10 million dollar drug bust in Sandusky, Michigan.

Authorities first noticed the plane in Port Huron, and followed it with a CBP helicopter to Sandusky City Airport. There, they say it dropped seven or eight bags onto a runway, and picked up one before taking off.

Television station WJRT in Flint, Michigan reports that the ensuing manhunt resulted in the arrests of two Canadian citizens,  32-year-old Matthew Moody and 20-year-old Jesse Rusenstrom, and the confiscation of 300 pounds of ecstasy and more than 100 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $10 million. The two men were attempting to load the drugs into a car, but fled when authorities approached.

Moody and Rusenstrom were being held in the Sanilac County Jail. Local authorities said neither the plane which dropped the drugs in Sandusky, nor its pilot, have been located.
