There, they say it dropped seven or eight bags onto a runway, and picked up one before taking off.Television station WJRT in Flint, Michigan reports that the ensuing manhunt resulted in the arrests of two Canadian citizens, 32-year-old Matthew Moody and 20-year-old Jesse Rusenstrom, and the confiscation of 300 pounds of ecstasy and more than 100 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $10 million. The two men were attempting to load the drugs into a car, but fled when authorities approached.Moody and Rusenstrom were being held in the Sanilac County Jail. Local authorities said neither the plane which dropped the drugs in Sandusky, nor its pilot, have been located.
