 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his.

POLICE SAY THEY DID NOT TEARGAS FUBARA DELIBERATELY 



“Following the receipt of credible intelligence reports on the intention of some armed group of persons to cause mayhem, particularly at the House of Assembly complex, armed police operatives were deployed.


“The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations (DC Ops) deployed the operatives, going by the previous case of arson on the assembly building.


“The DC Ops personally supervised (the police operatives) to intercept the `hoodlums’ and to ensure the protection of lives and property within the assembly facility and its environs.


“Some minutes later, another aggressive group of people approached the entrance of the complex and advanced toward the premises.


“This led the police to deploy non-lethal crowd control equipment, including teargas and water cannons, to disperse the riotous and uncontrollable protesters.


"The Police, therefore, engaged them in like manner but observed that the Executive Governor of the State, His Excellency,

Siminalayi Fubara, was in their midst.


"The presence of the Governor at the scene was of great surprise and shock as there was no prior communication to the Police on the visit of the Governor to the Scene of the crime which ordinarily is the usual protocol and compliments that will accompany his guard for proper safety considering the intelligence of security threat at hand then."


“To this end, the governor and his entourage went inside the assembly complex to assess the level of damage caused by an earlier fire incident.


“It is pertinent to state that the police did not deliberately attack the governor, or even attempt to hurt anyone, let alone the Chief Executive and Chief Security Officer of the state.


“It is our most essential role to protect the governor, and as such, the news being peddled in some sections of the media is a misrepresentation.
