A truck driver is being charged by the U.S. government for allegedly trafficking cocaine after being caught in Michigan attempting to transport 93 kilograms of the drug from the U.S. into Canada.
According to court documents, on Oct. 31 at approximately 12:20 a.m., a tractor-trailer driven by Kawal Preet Singh was stopped by a Michigan State Police trooper for traffic violations in Kimball Township, Michigan. During the stop, Singh presented a manifest indicated he was hauling “non-corrugated folding cartons" from Laredo, Texas, to Belleville, Ontario, Canada, court documents state.
A Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer arrived on the scene with a K9 to assist with the stop and conducted an open-air sniff. The dog alerted around the rear trailer doors.
Upon opening the trailer, the HSI officer observed two black garbage bags and two black duffle bags at the rear of the trailer, separate from the pallets containing the manifested cargo.Court documents
