Michigan drug seizure re-energizes trash debate

Michigan politicians and environmental advocates railed against Canadian trash imports Thursday, a day after nearly a ton of marijuana was found buried in a truckload of garbage crossing the Blue Water Bridge into Port Huron, Michigan.

Some anti-trash activists said the drug bust -- one of the largest in the state in at least a decade -- will help them build momentum to ban Canadian trash. Others cautioned against overlooking the main issue -- the environmental threat posed by the trash.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents found about 1,900 pounds of marijuana packed in 59 plastic bags and hockey equipment duffel bags in the trailer of a garbage truck coming from the Toronto area.

The drugs likely would be worth more than $9 million on the street, said area Michigan law enforcement officials familiar with narcotics sales.

"It's all the more reason to stop Canadian trash," said U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, R-Harrison Township. "It's not just a matter of we don't want to take their trash. We don't want their drugs."

Customs makes bust

Customs inspectors stopped the truck about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday after a computer database revealed the truck had a record for suspicion of narcotic smuggling, according to federal court documents. A gamma -ray scan of the truck, similar to an X-ray, indicated abnormalities in its cargo, which was supposed to be household rubbish.

"When they opened the back, a plastic bag with marijuana in it fell out," customs spokeswoman Cherise Miles said.

The bags of pot went back for 8 feet into the truck, she said.

The truck's driver, Bahadur Singh Khangura, 37, was arraigned Thursday in U.S. District Court in Detroit on charges of importing and attempting to distribute a controlled substance. Khangura, a Canadian resident, faces a detention hearing today.

The felony charges carry a sentence of five to 40 years in prison.

Khangura said he does not know how the marijuana got into the trailer or where it was going, according to court documents.

He told customs agents he was driving the trash from Complete Disposal Services in Concord, Ontario, to a Republic Services Inc. landfill in Montrose, Michigan north of Flint, the documents said.

Republic Services of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., contracts to take waste from Toronto.

Officials react

A Republic spokesman said the drug bust likely will find its way into the debate about Canadian trash imports.

"There are two separate issues that in this case come crashing together," spokesman Will Flower said. "I'm sure trash trucks aren't the only way drugs get across the border, although it certainly doesn't help our image."

U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, said the drug bust has breathed new life into his bill to allow Michigan to ban trash shipments from its northern neighbor.

"Now that kids' lives are at stake, getting kids hooked on marijuana, this is a whole new ballgame," said Rogers, a former FBI agent. "What we caught tells me there's a whole lot more we're not catching, and this is very, very serious stuff."

Democratic U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, who is working to get the Environmental Protection Agency to inspect trash trucks, said the bust proves trash imports should be stopped immediately.

"It definitely helps demonstrate the fact that anything can be brought in in the back of those trash trucks," she said.

Stabenow of Lansing plans to meet with the new EPA administrator Wednesday, when she will present online petitions with more than 160,000 signatures to stop Canadian trash.

Debate shifts focus

State Sen. Jud Gilbert, R-Algonac, who also is sponsoring an anti-trash measure, said the marijuana find will change the dynamics of the debate in Lansing, too.

"We talk about terrorism and the stuff going into our landfills, but I never heard anybody contemplating this was going to be part of drug trafficking," he said of the trash trucks.

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality spokeswoman Patricia Spitzley cautioned against taking the focus off environmental issues.

She said the bust shows new equipment and inspection techniques are working at the border crossing.

"I caution that we not use this as an example to ban Canadian waste," she said. "This was a crime."

Brad van Guilder, Wayne County community organizer for the anti-trash Ecology Center in Ann Arbor, also hoped the debate would stay centered on the environment.

"It certainly could be a motivator for some people," he said. "But we need to stay focused on the consequences of just the trash itself."

Although Kent Krueger, who has signed Stabenow's online petition, is concerned about the trash, he's also worried about the drugs.

Krueger, a substance-abuse therapist at Port Huron's Catholic Social Services, sees many patients who have been addicted to marijuana.

"The problem with marijuana is that it can be easily grown anywhere in this country," he said. "Certainly it's a good thing they seized it, but we have to do something to change people's perceptions and attitudes about marijuana."
