NOT ONLY IS THIS GUY TRYNA SMUGGLE BUT SON TRYNA BLAME IT ON HIS GRANMA...THATS COLD BLOODED!
(NewsCore) - Skip "my dog ate my homework" -- how about "my grandma needs my heroin?"
desperate man tried that excuse after being nabbed with $50,000 of heroin at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, telling investigators he smuggled in the illegal drugs for his ill grandmother, federal authorities said in a complaint unsealed late Tuesday. Steven Patong Thao, 53, arrived in Detroit the day after Christmas on a connecting flight from Laos. At customs, inspectors uncovered a pair of full pill bottles in his luggage, including one that had cleared security in his carry-on.
His story quickly unraveled. First he claimed the pills were prescriptions, then he began to stutter, fidget and repeatedly asked to use the bathroom. Meanwhile, officers testing the “medicine” had determined it was 440 grams of heroin. Thao defended himself, saying he was “required to consume 12 capsules daily” for treatment of high blood pressure and diabetes.
Told he was being held overnight, Thao threw the hoary hail mary.
“He explained that the capsules were intended for use by [his] grandmother as a form of pain relief, because she was very old,” Homeland Security Special Agent Pietro E. Ciranni swore in the complaint.
Thao was charged with intent to distribute a controlled substance and released on a $10,000 bond.
An FBI spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
POOR GRANNY ISNT GONNA GET HER 12 HITS A DAY HUH? SHAME SHAME SHAME!
