Scott Burke, 69, faces drug trafficking and weapons charges after arrest
A doctor was arrested after police found guns, drugs and prostitutes aboard a 70ft motor yacht anchored at a small island of Massachusetts.
The yacht Jess Conn, which is out of Georgetown in the Cayman Islands, was raided in Nantucket Harbor after a woman was evacuated from it and taken to a waiting ambulance.
The vessel’s owner Scott Burke, 69, was taken into custody after the raid by Nantucket Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Mr Burke, of Key Largo, Florida, faces drug trafficking and weapons charges and is set to be arraigned in Nantucket District Court on 11 September, reported The Nantucket Current.
I mean, regardless of how you feel about any of those aspects:
This was triggered because a woman had a medical emergency. It isn’t much of a stretch to think about what that means when you have prostitutes AND enough illegal drugs to be brought up on drug trafficking charges.
So, regardless of how you feel about the legality of those*, these were not responsible adults just exercising their freedoms.
*: Personally? Pro prostitution, anti-guns, depends on what kinds of drugs
It doesn’t say anything about the amount of drugs. Drug trafficking simply means they moved the drugs with the yacht. It’s a scary copaganda word used to make things sound worse than they are. Probably just a couple grams of coke and they happened to of moved from one states waters to another.
