Drugs in plane leads to federal indictment

Eds: APNewsNow.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- The seizure in Liberal of a plane carrying more than 125 pounds of cocaine had led to a federal indictment.

Thirty-year-old Eric Wayne McPeters, 40-year-old Dean Bryan Moya and 31-year-old Richard Allen Vickery of Hemet, Calif., face one count each of possession with intent to distribute cocaine.

The indictment was returned this past week in federal court in Wichita.

Last month, the Department of Homeland Security identified a suspicious aircraft that had landed in Liberal because of bad weather.

A search warrant was obtained after a drug-sniffing dog hit on the plane twice. The search uncovered two suitcases containing 50 individually wrapped bricks of cocaine.

Moya and Vickery were arrested at a Liberal hotel, but McPeters was not immediately taken into custody.
