HOUMA: Authorities say nearly $470,000 worth of cocaine seized from the plane of a Texas man who landed at a Louisiana airport is believed to have originated in Mexico.
Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Jerry Larpenter tells 29-year-old John Crow was headed toward the East Coast from his home in Brownsville, Texas, when he landed at the airport, in Schriever, to refuel.
Larpenter says federal and state authorities arrested Crowe Monday on charges of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and transactions involving drug proceeds.
Crow, in the Terrebonne jail on a $5 million bond, is scheduled to enter a plea Oct. 30 in state District Judge Juan Pickett’s Houma courtroom.
Terrebonne District Attorney Joe Waitz Jr. confirmed that his office is discussing the possibility of state charges in addition to federal ones. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is in charge of the investigation.
