U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Liberty in Alaska, together with the Alaska State Troopers, made a drug seizure during a routine boarding in Ketchikan area. When the Guardsmen boarded fishing vessel (F/V) 819, they noticed a strong smell of marijuana. After a further search, they recovered a glass smoking pipe, five half-pint jars of marijuana oil or hash oil, and approximately one-half ounce of marijuana. Local Alaska Troopers said that the value of the oil was estimated around $40K to $50K. It was the biggest marijuana oil seizure in Alaska. Hence, F/V 819 has also violated many safety regulations, causing the termination of its voyage. Further investigation is still going on.
