The U.S. Coast Guard offloaded over 38 tons of cocaine and marijuana Monday at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, marking the largest cocaine offload in Coast Guard history, officials said.⁠ ⁠ On hand for the offload were Coast Guard Rear Admiral Adam Chamie, commander of the southeast district, and U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Chase Sargeant, deputy director of the Joint Interagency Task Force-South.⁠ ⁠ Chamie said the crews interdicted a total of 61,740 pounds of cocaine and 14,400 pounds of bulk marijuana, a staggering $473 million in illegal narcotics, before they could reach the shores of the U.S.⁠ ⁠ "To truly understand the significance of this offload, consider this. The 61,740 pounds of cocaine represents 23 million potentially lethal doses. That's enough to fatally overdose the entire population of the state of Florida. Think about that for a moment, enough cocaine to kill everyone in Florida," Chamie said. "That's the immense scale of the threat we face."⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link ...
