 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.

 BRITAIN’S TECH TYCOON MIKE LYNCH AND  DAUGHTER MISSING AFTER YACHT SINKING


British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18 year old daughter are among seven people missing after a £14 million yacht sank off the coast of Sicily early this morning.


Mike Lynch, the British tech tycoon who sold his software startup to HP for £8.7 billion in 2011, is understood to have been on board the Bayesian yacht which sank this morning off the coast of Sicily.

He hit the headlines in recent years after HP accused him of duping them into overpaying when they bought his firm Autonomy.

In 2023, he was extradited to the US and was facing 25 years in prison if he was found guilty.

But he was acquitted just two months ago.

Mr Lynch had been awarded an OBE for services to enterprise in 2006, and later served on the government’s council for science and technology under David Cameron in 2011.


The body of one man, believed to be the boat’s chef, was found near the boat on the sea bed around half a mile offshore from the Italian island’s largest city, Palermo.

Charlotte Golunski, a British mum who managed to save her one-year-old daughter as the yacht sank, said the passengers were employees and collaborators of a software company.


The missing include four Brits, two Americans and a Canadian.
