When one Florida mayor set out on a recent fishing trip, she was looking to come home with a big catch. Turns out, she did just that, but not in the form of a Sunday night seafood dinner.
Last month, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor had been enjoying a family mahi-mahi fishing excursion off the Florida Keys when the group noticed a large package drifting in the water, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
After hauling the microwave-sized package into their boat, a split in the plastic wrapping showed individually packaged bricks, which U.S. Border Patrol would later confirm added up to 70 pounds of the drug. The amount in the 25 bricks carries an estimated street value of $1.1 million total. On that late July Sunday, Castor had dropped a pin of where they found the load, called the sheriff's office upon return to her vacation rental and handed over the package to federal agents, the Tampa Bay Times said.
