Florida man finds 50 pounds of cocaine floating in ocean — and shockingly turns it in: report

Some lines you don’t cross.

A good Samaritan found 50 pounds of cocaine floating in the Florida Keys — and turned the haul in to the authorities, according to a local report.

The highly-ethical boater — who wasn’t publicly identified — discovered the packages of party drugs roughly five miles off the coast of Islamorada, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said, according to the Miami Herald.

Photos showed the more than 20 large, black brick-shaped packages that were out there floating in the balmy Caribbean waters.

After the boater sniffed out the drugs, the sheriff’s office handed the packages to US Customs and Border Protection, the report stated.

Last month, a beachgoer in Walton County, Fla., stumbled upon $500K in cocaine wrapped in packaging that featured “Yosemite Sam” from the Looney Toons.
