Ken Barton Burrows was charged with manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver and intent to possess a controlled substance after his plane was intercepted at the New Castle Airport.
A 53-year-old Utah man was arrested while refueling his plane in Pennsylvania, after being caught allegedly trying to transport $1.2 million worth of marijuana across the country.
The suspect refused to allow local and federal officials to search his aircraft, but a drug-sniffing police dog confirmed the presence of the drug, enabling them to obtain a search warrant. WTAE-TV reported that they found 242 pounds of marijuana onboard, enough so that Burrows was not able to fit anything else on the single-engine Cessna airplane. Burrows reportedly bought the plane for $165,000 in cash.
