MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) – A 34-year-old man was arrested Tuesday, at Miami International Airport after authorities seized approximately 40 pounds of cannabis from his luggage, according to an arrest report.<\/p>\n
Craig Ewers Jr. faces a charge of cannabis trafficking following a drug interdiction operation conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration at the airport.<\/p>\n
The arrest occurred after Ewers arrived on an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles. Authorities said two pieces of luggage tagged with his name were flagged during the operation.<\/p>\n
A DEA Task Force Officer and his K9 partner alerted to possible narcotics inside the bags. Agents monitored the luggage as it was placed on a baggage carousel for pickup.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, Ewers retrieved the bags and began walking toward the terminal exit, at which point he was detained.<\/p>\n
A search of the luggage revealed four large vacuum-sealed bags containing suspected cannabis. Labels on the luggage were confirmed to match Ewers, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The seized narcotics were impounded by the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office and submitted to a crime lab for analysis. <\/p>\n
