The marijuana was found in a
walk-in food cooler at the Ship's
Wheel Seafood House when local
police and state and federal narcotics
agents arrested several
persons. They arrested others
within a mile of the restaurant.
All five were charged with
possession of marijuana with intent
to distribute.
Those arrested were identified
as Jerry Lynn High, 29, of
Shallotte, N.C.; Boby Edwin Gore,
50, of Little River, S.C.; Raymond
Hernandez, 25, of Miami, Fla.;
Jesus Miranda, 37, of Miami, and
Jose A. Carmona, 34, of Hialeah,
Fla.
Authorities said Gore was the
owner of the restaurant.
Officers said they believed the
food cooler contained only about
half the original shipment of
marijuana. They estimated the
original load was worth $4 million.
