Kemar Brown was a truck driver from California who was pulled over in Indiana by the DOT who would discover 100 pounds of meth in his tractor trailer
According to police reports Kemar Brown was traveling through Indiana when he was pulled over by Indiana State Police. After talking with the truck driver for a bit they noticed a number of indicators that something was not added up
Indiana State Troopers would search the truck and trailer to discover 100 pounds of meth.
Kemar Brown would be arrested and has been charged with possessing and dealing methamphetamine.
It goes without saying that some criminal elements use truck drivers in order to ship their drugs and other illegal material across the country. Seems every few days I read a story about another truck driver being arrested and charged. Since I live within sight of the border I tend to hear reports of some truck driver attempting to drive into Canada or into the United States with a trailer that is attempting to smuggle drugs
If you are attempting to smuggle drugs across the country or into another country it is only a matter of time before you are caught. As a Canadian I hope you are caught on the United States side as their penalties are much more stricter than they are in Canada
