Guilty Plea for Marijuana Trafficker
A Florida man has pleaded guilty in federal court to his role in a large-scale marijuana conspiracy operating in Canada and the U.S.
26-year-old Viet Vuong Le of Orlando was part of a group that started operating in Canada in 2004. They were smuggling 300-pound loads of high-grade, hydroponic marijuana across the border into the United States hidden inside legitimate commercial cargo.
Several shipments of drug proceeds were intercepted, including about $226,000 in Pittsburgh in February 2008; $222,000 in Niagara Falls, N.Y., in June 2008; and another $662,000 in Allegheny County in July 2008.
Le will be sentenced on October 1.
