OK, But It's Probably Like the Third-Biggest Drug Bust Ever. At Least.

WJZ and

The Sun

are among those reporting on the Baltimore Police Department's ability to produce large quantities of drugs. Seized from somewhere in Southwest Baltimore. From someone. Destined for someplace. But apparently, at 91 pounds of blow, it's the "

in city history."

Which does make one wonder what happened with the

at the Port of Baltimore announced by then-commissioner Kevin Clark back in 2004, which was then the second largest city drug bust (that story from the AP via WTOP makes mention of an earlier, larger haul at the port).

Paul Chooweenam, the defendant in the 2004 case, was sentenced to three years in federal prison, and according to the Bureau of Prisons'

he was released last year.

The Sun

reported on the 2004 incident on Feb. 27 of that year, but

is only available on their paid archives.

Update:

Clarification on the largest-ness of the drug seizure in question comes in the form of

in

The Sun

. It seems that while the city has seen bigger busts, this is the biggest haul the BPD has brought in all on its own.

Update, one week later: Oh, look,

at

The Sun

has caught on too.
