Jatinderpal Singh: Saturday Mornings and District Court

jatinderpal singh: The documents, filed on Sunday and obtained by CTVNews.ca, describe how a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent noticed Singh showing signs of extreme signs of nervousness, according to CTV. That's when they brought out a drug-sniffing dog that alerted officers. They made the discovery after pulling Jatinderpal Singh over for an inspection as he tried to cross the Ambassador Bridge early Saturday morning, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The filing said officials found approximately 120 kilograms of cocaine, following an X-ray and physical search of the truck's contents. They added that commercial truck drivers can typically earn 1,000 per kilogram for each brick smuggled in Canada across the U.S.-Canada border. The street value of the cocaine in Toronto would have been close to 6 million, according to an affidavit from a U.S. Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE officer.
