A man was reportedly caught at an airport with more than one dozen bricks of cocaine hidden in his wheelchair.
34-year-old Gabriel Ruiz lives in Union City, New Jersey.
On June 21, Ruiz landed at the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport after he left Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The man was using a “Jazzy 614” model electric wheelchair during his travels.
On Monday, a Baltimore man went to take the driving portion of the testing required to get his driver’s license, but before performing the exam he was taken into custody on several charges after marijuana and a loaded handgun were found in the vehicle he was operating.
When 22-year-old Reginald Wooding Jr. was sitting in a car waiting for his turn to take a road test to get his driver’s license one of the employees of the Motor Vehicle Administration allegedly detected the scent of marijuana. She reported it to a trooper who was on site and Wooding was approached regarding the odor.
After Wooding allegedly willingly gave the trooper a small package containing marijuana that he had it was believed that there was enough justification to warrant searching the automobile.
