Key Points:
- Jamaican-American pilot Jabari Stephen Brown, known as Captain Treezy, was briefly detained in Paraguay after 577 pounds of cannabis were found on the plane he was co-piloting, though he was unaware of the drugs and subsequently released.
- The cannabis, valued at approximately $3.6 million, was discovered during a flight from Miami to Panama and is suspected to be destined for Brazil's underground drug market.
- The airplane involved belonged to Keith Siilats, co-founder of Bolt Mobility, and was a Bombardier Challenger 604, different from the private jet Captain Treezy won in a MrBeast YouTube challenge.
- Three Americans—Troy Anthony Vasquez, David Thomas Wise, and Marisol Rivas—were arrested in Paraguay in connection with the drug smuggling operation.
- Captain Treezy, who also co-founded Bolt Mobility, left Paraguay shortly after his release.
