A U.S. Coast Guard cutter offloaded 76,140 pounds of illegal drugs valued at $473 million in Port Everglades, Florida, this week — the largest drug offload in the service branch’s history.
As part of an effort called Operation Pacific Viper, the offload by the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton included approximately 61,740 pounds of cocaine and approximately 14,400 pounds of marijuana.
