Authorities: Montana drug bust nets large amount of ecstasy
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) Three Canadian men face federal drug charges after a traffic stop near Glendive, Montana netted 145 pounds of the illegal drug Ecstasy worth about 5 million dollars on the street.
The Winnipeg men are accused of smuggling the drugs across the U.S.-Canada border into North Dakota on a snowmobile.
A federal Drug Enforcement Administration agent in Billings says it was one of the largest Ecstasy seizures in Montana.
The three have been identified as 32-year-old Timothy Morneau, 19-year-old Christian Laurin and 19-year-old Alan Mulder. They face up to life in prison if convicted.

Unfortunately those three druggies from Winnipeg and others like them give Canadians a bad name. I for one as a Canadian hope that they are dealt with by the American laws and not permitted to come back to Canada for sentencing or to “pay their debt to society” in Canada.
Comment by Katie 02.26.08 @ 10:10 amCanadian laws (Manitoba for example) are not as harsh as American laws. For this crime in the U.S. is a minimum of 10 years where the same crime in Manitoba is only 4-6 years. Perhaps other druggies will learn from this example.
