Last week, drug agents in a baggage claim area at a Memphis public transportation hub confiscated a significant haul of drugs and an expensive pair of sneakers which has now led to an investigation.
The unclaimed luggage was discovered by the West Tennessee Drug Task Force while they were on a routine operation.
In addition to a $1,100 pair of Balenciaga shoes, the suitcase included 453 hydrocodone pills, 986 Xanax pills, 2083 OxyContin pills, and 979 ecstasy pills.
When agents analyzed the substances in the field, they found that the ecstasy pills were actually caffeine.
The other drugs were all real and could sell for around $35,000 in the streets.
