JTG MINI - Cocaine Bear

In 1985, a man called Andrew Thornton II crash-landed in a random driveway in Kentucky after his parachute didn’t open. He was wearing a bullet-proof vest, night vision goggles and a pair of Gucci Loafers. He also had a duffel bag filled with 35kg of cocaine. But Thornton originally had 75kg of cocaine, and it wasn’t until two months later, when a North American Black Bear was found to have had a very, VERY fun time in the nearby woods, that the police were able to figure out what happened to the rest of Andrew’s stash. Cocaine Bear became a Kentucky legend, and its taxidermied body went on a decades-long journey that was almost as eventful as his two-week bender. This is Just The Gist of Cocaine Bear.
