Pilot Faces Drug Charge, Hospitalized After Swallowing Cocaine on Houston Flight

Stanley Rafael Hill, a certified 737 commercial pilot, was not behind the yoke of this Houston flight returning from Colombia, but was just a passenger. After the flight landed, Hill realizes that something had gone wrong with his drug smuggling plans and called for medical help. Doctors in a local OP discovered that one of the 62 small rubber sacks full of cocaine that he has swallowed prior to boarding the flight has burst. Hill is now recovering in the hospital and is being charged with possession with the intent to deliver.

I'm glad he wasn't behind the yolk on that flight. Only properly trained and qualified flight attendants should be preparing eggs to order on a 737.

I clearly still had breakfast on the brain. Oops. Fixed. Thank you!
