Feds Seize Cocaine Jesus

…the 61-year-old Garcia-Cordova, who is a legal permanent U.S. resident, initially acknowledged that Cocaine Jesus was his, but then claimed he was only helping to smuggle the statue on the behalf of a man known only by the nickname ‘La Arana,’ or The Spider. Cocaine Jesus, he claimed, was supposed to be delivered to The Spider in Dallas.
