Prosecutors: Man Found with 62 Pounds of Cocaine at Chicago Airport Freed Until Trial
2023-11-01
[Breitbart] A man allegedly caught with millions of dollars’ worth of drugs at a Chicago airport on October 24 was let off fairly easy for the time being.

The suspect, Terrence Slaughter, 55, is accused of having $3.5 million worth of cocaine in his bags at Chicago Midway International Airport, CWB Chicago reported Tuesday.

An image shows the man in question:



However, a judge released him and said he was to remain in Illinois until he is due back in court, the outlet continued:

Terrence Slaughter, 55, was arrested at Midway on October 24, the 16th anniversary of the day a federal judge sentenced him to 15.67 years for stealing guns from a retired cop and intentionally selling them to gang members, according to court records.

Slaughter was eventually charged with Class X manufacture-delivery of the drug, but prosecutors failed to request Judge David Kelly hold the suspect before his trial date.

“So, the judge released him with instructions to show up for court, stay in the state, and stay away from Midway, the clerk of court records show,” the report said.

Reboot it with Slaughter.

#5  He might've been better off in jail - as soon as the guys he's working for find him he's as good as dead.
