Last month, customs agents at JFK International Airport discovered more than seven pounds of cocaine stuffed inside three large chunks frozen goat meat, which were packed in a passenger’s luggage.<\/p>\n
On March 20, Yudishtir Maharaj flew from Port of Spain, Trinidad into JFK, where custom agents selected him for a random search.<\/p>\n
Special agent Michael Martinez indicated Maharaj “presented a checked-in, large black suitcase and a laptop bag for inspection.<\/p>\n
When the officers examined the suitcase, they found three packages in the suitcase, which Maharaj claimed “in sum and substance contained frozen cooked goat meat. The three packages were X-rayed revealing a square-like object inside of each one.”<\/p>\n
The CBP officers later took Maharaj into a private room and, according to Martinez in the court doc\u00adket, “drilled into the packages and discovered a powdery-white substance, which later tested positive for the presence of cocaine.<\/p>\n
