Louisville CBP Finds Heroin in Woman’s Suit

CBP officers found the drugs after a routine X-ray showed an anomaly within the package. The powered heroin was packed within two plastic bags and tucked in between the fabric of the Indian suit.

They nailed 3TONS of pot (there goes the price again!), $650,000 in fraudulent checks (which I am sure someone was desperately waiting for), $1 mil in various drugs (up goes the price) and today even the poor heroin user is derived of affordable drugs.
Is there any reason that Ramos and Compean should still sit in jail while Johnny Sutton, who brought the charges against them and gave immunity to the drug dealer to testify should not take the place of these two guys?
