Nearly $23 Million in Crystal Meth Confiscated from 18-Wheeler
Oct 12, 2007 07:32 PM CDT
Largest Drug Bust in History


Louisiana state troopers have made what they say is the largest crystal meth seizure in U.S. history. Almost $23 million worth of crystal meth was found on an 18-wheeler on Interstate 12 past Holden. WAFB's Keitha Nelson was on the scene shortly after state police pulled over the truck Thursday evening.
Troopers found more than 500 pounds of crystal meth in the back of a tractor trailer. It happened during a routine truck inspection.
Troopers led the driver, 51-year-old Francisco Villa of Pharr, Texas, off the interstate and into the back of the Wal-Mart in Walker.
The truck appeared to be carrying frozen produce, but after checking behind those goods, troopers found 10 large bundles of crystal meth, weighing 505 pounds. The drugs carry a street value of an estimated $22.9 million. State troopers say Villa was coming from Texas and headed to South Carolina.
Trooper Johnnie Brown says, "Looking into the community, this could have possibly gone into 505 pounds of crystal meth. That's a lot of meth to go anywhere in the U.S., specifically if it had gone to one community.
This drug seizure had nothing to do with Wal-Mart. The driver was simply directed off the interstate into that lot.
Villa has been booked on distribution charges and is in the Livingston Parish prison. Authorities consider him to be such a threat that he is being held without bond.
