Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office arrested five men on the Royal Caribbean after finding drugs in their luggage.
The office’s security dogs tracked the existence of drugs at PortMiami’s Terminal A, flagging the passengers’ belongings before their departure. Various amounts of methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and GBL were detected during baggage searches. This eventually led to an investigation by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The passengers were attempting to board the Atlantis Event’s Symphony Cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas from Miami.
It is marketed as “The World’s Biggest Gay Festival at Sea,” with stops in St. Maarten, the Bahamas, and Puerto Rico, according to the official website.
Police records identified the five men arrested as Joshua Eddy, Joshua Jenkins, Brad Kloha, Adam Jones and Hoi Le.
The affidavit provided a summary of what happened, stating that officers came to Port Miami, “regarding an outbound cruise ship passenger in custody for possession of narcotics.”
In addition, the affidavit stated that Le arrived at Terminal A earlier and provided the group’s luggage for screening. Afterwards, the ship’s security team blocked him and later referred him to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The exam “revealed two clear baggies with suspect narcotics.” The police further write in the affidavit that one of the baggies had 14.94 grams of methamphetamine and 3.2 grams of ketamine.
However, the narcotics in Le’s belongings did not “meet the threshold for federal prosecution.” As a result, he was referred to the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office for local prosecution.
The affidavits for the other four men—Joshua Eddy, Joshua Jenkins, Brad Kloha and Adam Jones—were not available.
