Truck driver admits trafficking cocaine at Montana border
A commercial truck driver from Canada recently admitted to a cocaine trafficking crime after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found approximately 30 kilograms of cocaine in watermelon pallets as the driver was attempting to enter Canada at the Montana border in Toole County, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said last week.
Kareshmaa Kaur Jagroop, 42, of Ontario, Canada, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute cocaine as charged in a superseding information. Jagroop faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, a $1 million fine and at least three years of supervised release.
The court set sentencing for May 23. Jagroop was released on conditions to a treatment center in Montana pending further proceedings.
