The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office says they collected a total of 25 kilograms of packaged cocaine on Friday that had washed up on beaches from Ponte Vedra south to Crescent Beach. Deputies showed off the cocaine Monday, saying the street value of the drugs would equal $7.5 million. Drug agents say the cocaine was intended for somewhere along the coast of Florida, but it ended up in the ocean.
"There is a drug dealer of some level who is very unhappy," said SJCSO Cmdr. Chuck Mulligan. "He's lost really a great deal of value in the cocaine." The Sheriff's Office confirmed the bags contained cocaine. St. Johns County beaches, which were closed anyway Friday due to nor'easter conditions, were kept closed as deputies collected the bundles and placed them into evidence.
