Smoking While Snowshoeing

"Snowshoe smuggler sentenced to prison

SEATTLE — A Vancouver, British Columbia, man will serve 30 months in a US prison for leading a snowshoe smuggling ring that tried to bring marijuana to Washington state on treacherous mountain trails. Richard Bafaro, 45, apologized Friday, saying he was forced to pay $70,000 to drug suppliers after he lost a load of the drug in the wilderness, which led him to smuggle more. Five men were arrested with links to Bafaro’s operation and were sentenced to between eight months and one year. (AP)."
