Four men were arrested and are facing drug-related charges after a lengthy investigation by the St. Clair County Drug Task Force and Homeland Security Investigations Border Enforcement Security Team.
On August 18, 2022, law enforcement arrested the men after they crossed the Blue Water Bridge into the U.S. in a semi truck and made their way to a business parking lot in Columbus Township to transfer drugs from the semi to a van.
Officers seized 348 pounds of marijuana and 24 pounds of Ecstasy from the transaction. After another suspect arrived at the scene, officers obtained a search warrant for a home in Detroit where they seized a firearm, ammunition, and over $36,000 in U.S. currency.
Three of the men arrested were from Detroit and the semi-truck driver was Canadian. As a result of this narcotics bust, officers seized drugs with a street value of over 1,000,000.
