Pot Package 'mixed Up With Organs'

[boulder]

A DRUG suspect who went to the airport to pick up 54kg of marijuana allegedly wound up with two boxes of human organs.

 

After realizing the mistake - the boxes were labeled "PLEASE RUSH, HUMAN TISSUE FOR TRANSPLANT" - a Canadian woman and New York man were arrested trying to make an exchange, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

 

The mix-up occurred at the Delta Airlines ticket counter at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, where Tabitha Bracken, 27, of Toronto, was mistakenly given packages from Crolife, an Atlanta medical agency.

 

One contained a pulmonary valve destined for an emergency transplant into a young person in a Hamilton, Ontario hospital. The other contained a vein intended for coronary bypass graft surgery at a Buffalo hospital, the DEA said.

 

Bracken and Dalvan Robinson, 43, of Lockport, were arrested 12 hours later after Bracken tried to exchange the organs for packages which contained the pot wrapped in plastic and newspapers and smeared in mustard, agents said.

 

The suspects were charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana and held without bond.

 

The organs were delivered to the appropriate hospitals. The emergency surgery eventually took place at the Ontario hospital, while a spokesman for the Buffalo hospital said the vein wasn't intended for immediate use.

I really feel for the folks in the States, hear the scariest stuff I don't live there but the DEA still scares the crap out of me. They seem to really be good at turning normal people into criminals.
