Reports: Coca-Cola heir arrested in Caribbean with $1.3M in cannabis, 5,000 plants aboard private jet

A Greek billionaire and heir to the Coca-Cola fortune was arrested on the Caribbean Island of St. Kitts after a search of his private jet uncovered more than $1.3 million worth of cannabis on board, according to multiple reports.

David claimed the plants on board were "all hemp" and were related to a new venture to start a legal cannabis business in the region. He and Chase Ergen, the heir to the satellite fortune, announced in April that they formed a consortium aimed at developing the cannabis business in Eastern Caribbean nations such as St. Kitts-Nevis, Dominica and Antigua.

Wonder who ratted, the Dominicans or the Antiguans?
