BROOKSVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Heroin seized during a Florida drug bust was being held inside envelopes featuring a very famous likeness: President Donald Trump.
The Tampa Bay Times reports (https://bit.ly/2l5n4wW ) that about 5,550 heroin envelopes were collected in a Hernando County bust on Jan. 27.
Some of the envelopes also had the name of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman printed on them.
Police arrested 46-year-old Kelvin Scott Johnson on suspicion of heroin trafficking and other charges. He is being held on $75,000 bail.
Authorities say Johnson came to their attention in May 2016, after the U.S. Postal Service intercepted a package containing 550 doses of heroin.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said the drug dealers made a “big mistake” using Trump’s picture, saying the president is a fierce anti-drug advocate.
