#278 The Adventures of Cocaine Bear & Andrew Carter Thornton II

Today we’re talkin’ the story of Andrew Carter Thornton II and his drug smuggling shenanigans. How exactly this cop turned into a drug smuggler in the first place, and how the hell we’re gonna end up on “cocaine bear”, I have no idea. Let’s head back to the 80’s! Also this was made into a movie in 2023, just fyi.
