Interesting.

If I were driving a bus with over 200 pounds of cocaine loaded therein, I'd be sure to keep my speed right at the speed limit and between the whiye markers of my lane.

I wonder ow "erratcally" these fellows were driving.

I've heard cops say if they went strictly by the book, they could pull over almost any vehicle whenever they wanted.

And I believe it. Generally, people don't drive very carefully.

Zero info in presser about cash seized. Very wise on part of LEO. Never talk publicly about the cash.

I'm not a lawyer (whew) but could it be possible that the police got a informal, unverifiable tip from a rival gang that the haul was in process and then decided the bus was being driven erratically?

Who would put there "mule" in a giant bus to make deliveries ?

Technically, you have to remove your ability to reproduce (through accidental death or sterilization) to be eligible for a Darwin Award.

Well, it's a tough labor market, so you get who you can these days.

Does the Rankin Co Sheriff's Office use a blackberry for photos?

I went to school back in the 70’s-80’s with this guy, rode the bus with him every day. When he graduated he went to work for a janitorial service. When I moved back home years later he still lived in his moms old house,still had the same job, all he did was work nights at his job and drag race. I’m talking big time funny cars, traveled all over racing and always worked nights so he could work on his car and race during the day. A couple of years ago he’s busted hauling pounds of coke in spare racing slicks. I know his employer and he said that he hadn’t missed a day of work in over twenty years. The last guy you would have suspected. Led a very unassuming life, still lived in the same house the bus stopped at forty years ago, drove older used cars, just a great guy if you bumped into him in the store. Someone ratted him out because nobody would have suspected him. He’s either got a wad of cash buried somewhere for when he gets out of prison or he burned it all on drag cars.

Erratic driving is and old standby for when the cops make a stop for no good reason. They couldn't say it was a big, funny-looking bus with no markings being driven by a brown guy.

Dead giveaway - solid white bus with no markings. not to mention erratic driving. Qualifies for "Dumb Crook News"

In the 90’s if you came across the MS River Bridge with a tan and a Texas tag, chances are Paul Barrett’s boys were going to pull you over.
