Authorities have arrested a man they suspect was the pilot of a small plane abandoned at a small Southeast Texas airstrip with about 100 pounds of marijuana onboard.

A Waller County Sheriff’s Office statement says deputies and federal Homeland Security agents arrested 33-year-old Barrington Carl Slack late Monday afternoon outside an Italian restaurant in the Houston suburb of Humble.

Slack was booked into the Waller County Jail in Hempstead, about
50 miles northwest of Houston. No bond has been set for the felony
marijuana possession charge. Jail records list no hometown or attorney for Slack.

The twin-engine plane was found abandoned Nov. 21 after landing
and skidding off the runway at Houston Executive Airport in Brookshire in Waller County, about 35 miles west of Houston.

FITCHBURG, Mass. (AP) — Authorities say the pilot of a single-engine plane that landed at Fitchburg Airport has been arrested after 74 pounds of marijuana and $77,000 in cash was found in three duffel bags inside the aircraft.

Hoang Nguyen, 31, of Hillsborough, Oregon, was charged Tuesday with trafficking marijuana and booked at the State Police Barracks in Leominster. He is to be arraigned in Fitchburg District Court on Wednesday.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and Homeland Security agents began monitoring the movements of Nguyen’s aircraft, which had departed from Santa Monica, Calif. Investigators tracked to the plane to Morris County Airport in Grundy, Illinois, and then to Fitchburg Airport.

When the plane landed, a State Police dog then alerted authorities to the presence of a narcotic odor coming from inside the aircraft.
