The weekend before, a boater found a 3-pound bale of marijuana off Islamorada in the Upper Keys.
Earlier that month, boaters discovered 87 pounds of hashish offshore of Marathon, a city nestled in the middle of the Keys, population about 10,000. The same day, another spotted 62 pounds of cocaine, the bricks packaged with pictures of the Eiffel Tower, according to the Border Patrol.

Jane Castor is the mayor; Kelly is her brother.
Relatives of mine accidentally bought a kilo of pure cocaine from an unclaimed freight resale company. It was being smuggled in a software box, and I guess “Jimmy the Nerd” didn’t make his pick-up on time.
If this is organized crime, I’d hate to see the disorganized kind…
