Around 10:30 a.m. Thursday, officials say they received an anonymous tip about four suspicious packages. Upon arrival at an undisclosed location, officers say they discovered that the packages contained 81 individual kilogram packages, each wrapped consistent with illegal drug trafficking.
quote:

A field test determined the packages contained pure cocaine. The estimated wholesale value of the drugs is $4.5 million, according to deputies. It has a street value of $18 million.

So...somebody just left packages of drugs lying around someplace where an anonymous tip could call it in?

I have a feeling someone is going to be in big trouble, and not necessarily with the law.

How else do you subsidize those Sport fishers? 18 mil pays for a lot of gas.

I said, "Oh man, wait a minute there's gotta be something wrong
I ain't a bad guy, just write these little songs
I always pay my union dues, I don't stay in the passing lane"
And he said, "What about all that whiskey and the cocaine"
I said, "Well, yeah, but that's no reason to throw me in Hell
'Cause I didn't use the cocaine to get high
I just liked the way it smelled"

The Louisiana coastline is perfect for drug smuggling. People have been using it for hundreds of years.

quote:

In January 1808, the government began to enforce the Embargo Act of 1807, which barred American ships from docking at any foreign port. This was problematic for New Orleans merchants, who had relied heavily on trade with Caribbean colonies of other nations. The Lafitte brothers began to look for another port from which they could smuggle goods to local merchants.

They established themselves on the small and sparsely populated island of Barataria, in Barataria Bay. The bay was located beyond a narrow passage between the barrier islands of Grand Terre and Grande Isle.[10] Barataria was far from the U.S. naval base, and ships could easily smuggle in goods without being noticed by customs officials. Workers would reload goods into smaller batches onto pirogues or barges for transport through the bayous to New Orleans
