TERREBONNE PARISH, La. (WGNO) – The Louisiana State Police working with the Department of Homeland Security seized 15.6 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of $468,000 from a plane being flown by a Brownsville man.The Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations (Houma Division), Homeland Security Investigations, Customs and Border Protection, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Thibodaux Police Department made contact with a plane flying out of Brownsville, Texas and landing at the Thibodaux Municipal Airport in Terrebonne Parish.
Once the plane landed, state police say the 29-year-old pilot was extremely nervous, but granted permission for authorities to search the plane.
Inside John Crow’s luggage, troopers and agents discovered 15.6 kilograms of cocaine and $2,090.
Crow was arrested and booked with intent to distribute cocaine, and transactions involving drug proceeds.
Police detectives also seized the currency and airplane in Crow’s possession.
Since news of his son’s arrest reached Tamaulipas, his father Robert "Bobby" Crow has come under criticism from community members in the state capital of Ciudad Victoria. The pastor has also received support from other pastors who have spoken out in TV interviews stating that Crow’s son is an adult responsible for his own actions.
The older Crow moved to Mexico as part of a mission outreach program to build churches in that country, according to sources who quoted his World Mission Outreach.

Brownsville makes the news again...hurrayyyyy!
Sounds like the "outreach" program may have been related to drugs.
And they probably take the drug proceeds south in their "outreach vans"
