Cocaine dealers in Puerto Rico are having a lot of success shipping their product to the states via the U.S. Postal Service reports the Associated Press.

Yet, somehow, despite all the aid sent ($6 billion in the last 11 years), military assistance, and intelligence, the South American country still manages to be the world’s leading supplier, just like Afghanistan is for heroin.

The foreman for the 12-member jury deciding Buju Banton’s cocaine trial told the judge that they’re currently deadlocked: “[W]e have been reviewing evidence, nobody has changed their minds from their original positions.” Deliberating since Thursday, they can’t come to a unanimous decision and asked Judge Moody for further instructions.
