Another victim of the “war on drugs”

Authorities say Brito fled from a Salem motel in November, when one of three drug mules he hired began absorbing small bags of cocaine lodged in her digestive tract.
Twenty-five-year-old Mally Cruz Rodriguez died and her sister was treated for drug intoxication. Police say they had swallowed bags of cocaine as part of an operation led by Brito.
If smuggling cocaine weren’t necessary, Mally Rodriguez would be alive. If there weren’t such obscene profits to be made from drug trafficking, drug dealers could find productive work and police wouldn’t have to spend time and money chasing people from New Hampshire to Puerto Rico.
