Here's what happened: Police had intelligence that a drug sale was going on at a house in Silk Grass Village - which is at mile 7 on the Southern Highway. They went in and found the owner along with three guests - including this notorious Orange Walk figure.

Police caught him and retrieved the bag which had two kilos. or about four and a half pounds of cocaine.

They also searched the pickup belonging to the notorious Orange Walk Figure. Inside one of the interior panels they found a large amount of cash and another kilo of cocaine. All three have been detained Pending investigation of Drug Trafficking.
