Aero-News Quote of the Day
“If there’s one person that knows the insidious nature of this drug it’s Mr. Handzus, someone who clearly should have known better. Those who become addicted to this have their lives ruined. What Mr. Handzus was trying to put out on the streets… could have caused a lot of problems for a lot of people.”
Source: First Assistant District Attorney Kevin R. Steele, in comments about James Handzus... a pilot who was sentenced Tuesday in Montgomery County PA, court to nine to 22 years after his conviction of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, criminal use of a communication facility, possession of drug paraphernalia and conspiracy. A narcotics enforcement team discovered in March 2011 that Handzus had allegedly been smuggling large quantities of meth into the U.S. using his airplane, a 1959 Piper Comanche which has since been forfeited and will be sold to fund other drug investigations.
