 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. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana.

 Prosecutors argue Sean 'Diddy' Combs should serve at least 11 years in prison

Federal prosecutors are urging a judge to sentence Sean Combs to at least 11 years in prison when he appears for sentencing on Friday, following his conviction on two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution. In a memo submitted to the court, prosecutors argued that Combs, despite being acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, has shown no remorse and left victims living in fear. They said the punishment must reflect not only the crimes of conviction but also the abusive and violent circumstances in which they were carried out, particularly against Cassie Ventura, who was seen in hotel surveillance footage, bloodied and bruised. Prosecutors described Combs’ conduct as part of “decades of unchecked violence” and lasting psychological, emotional, and physical harm inflicted on those around him.

Defense attorneys sharply disagreed, calling the recommendation “draconian” and arguing it essentially disregards the jury’s verdict. They asked for a far more lenient sentence, closer to the time already served. Prosecutors attached letters from multiple victims and witnesses to underscore their recommendation, including Ventura and a former employee named Mia. Ventura urged the judge to recognize the strength it took victims to come forward and to impose a sentence that acknowledges the lives Combs has damaged. Mia’s letter pleaded for a sentence that would honor the truth and provide hope, protection, and justice. “Please, your Honor,” she wrote, “you have the power to show us, the world, and the future that our lives, our voices, our truth, and our humanity matter.” The final decision will rest with the judge, who must weigh both sides’ arguments in determining Combs’ punishment.
