Routine Traffic Stop Turns Up $10 Million In Cocaine

A routine traffic stop in Pueblo, Colorado, led to the discovery of 220 pounds of cocaine with a street value of $10 million in the rental car of a California couple. Mark Bailey and Lisa Calderon, both of Sylmar, California, were arrested on Sunday on suspicion of cocaine possession. Police pulled a Chevy Malibu with California plates over at Sunday morning for a lane change violation. The officer discovered that Bailey’s license was suspended and noticed that Bailey’s passenger Lisa Calderon was acting nervous when they asked her questions about where the pair were headed. The officer noticed that the rear of the Malibu was lower than the front and he called a K-9 unit to investigate the vehicle. The K-9 unit alerted officers to the rear of the vehicle, where four black duffel bags packed with 100 kilos of cocaine were found.
