Members of the Department of Drug Control (DNCD) arrested a 28-year old Haitian in possession of 31 kilos of cocaine. Reportedly, he planned to deliver the cocaine to buyers in Miami. The man’s Haitian passport identified him as Jean Marc Junior Adam. But he had on him a Florida driver’s license, where he was Mario Durán. DNCD agents were on his trail after being tipped off from a Miami source. They observed as the Haitian received a package in a supermarket parking lot. When the Haitian observed he was being watched, he fled. A chase began. The reckless driver crashed into a vehicle at the intersection of Av. 27 de Febrero and Dr. Defilló, and ran down a passola at Calle Rafael Augusto Sánchez, where the DNCD agents finally arrested him. His passport showed multiple entries to the DR by way of the frontier town of Jimaní. He was driving a rented car, according to the report in El Siglo newspaper. Spokesperson for the DNCD Jacobo Mateo Moquete said that the drug had entered Haiti via Colombia.
