A Vancouver man was arrested on a cruise ship in Miami on several counts of conspiring to traffic marijuana and cocaine, in a case that has also resulted in charges against a Canadian border guard. Charles Lai, 42, is facing up to life in prison and a $4-million fine after his arrest in Miami this week... When his cruise ship pulled into a Miami harbour over the weekend, investigators arrested him. Lai is now being taken to Washington for arraignment on the indictment.
Conspiracy to export cocaine is punishable by 10 years to life in prison and a $4-million fine, while conspiracy to import marijuana is punishable by five to 40 years in prison and a $2-million fine. Possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime is punishable by an additional consecutive five-year sentence on top of any other sentence, and a $250,000 fine.
