Kissimmee Pilot Sentenced for Smuggling Marijuana

A Kissimmee airplane pilot was sentenced to five years in federal prison for a drug offense, stemming from his part in a marijuana smuggling incident, according to the Orlando Sentinel. This past October, the pilot had pleaded guilty in Orlando to "conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana."

Between 2009 and 2010, the pilot was paid to fly marijuana from Texas to Central Florida onboard his airplane. According to the Orlando Sentinel, about 500 pounds of marijuana were transported each time, and the pilot made about 10 trips back and forth.

In addition to the prison time, the pilot has been ordered to give up his Cessna 206 airplane.
