In the ongoing war on drugs, one the best ways to protect people is to catch those responsible for transporting the narcotics in the first place. Today, an Irish DJ received his prison sentence. Unfortunately it wasn’t for playing mediocre tunes but for smuggling drugs into Australia.
Stephen Donnelly, 37, received a sentence 6 years and 9 months in prison. The charges? For helping to smuggle ecstasy and cocaine in noodle containers.
It wasn’t just one noodle container worth drugs either. As a matter fact, Donnelly and three friends are responsible for nearly $700,000 worth cocaine along with 5,000 MDMA tablets into Darwin, Australia. Police busted the three culprits last October. Reports say police intercepted one the noodle packages that Donnelly requested to be picked up, resulting in their arrest.
In a hearing, Donnelly said “I totally accept, I am an absolute idiot”. Obviously he wished he just stayed with music. Thankfully, police were able to get the drugs f the street, likely saving many lives in the process. Law enforcement ficials constantly work hard to track illegal drugs before they hit the public streets.
