Michael Morey was a music-loving hippie who
fell in love with a woman he met in Trinidad. But when he learned he
and his girlfriend were expecting a baby, Michael agreed to smuggle
cocaine from Ecuador to Europe. When he got to Quito, he was told hed
need to cut his dreadlocks. For Michael, cutting his dreads was like
selling his soul, but he didnt think there was another choice. On the
day of his departure, he was duct taped with almost 4 kilos of
cocaine. In the airport, Michael was almost caught twice: once by a
chewing gum wrapper setting off a metal detector, and later by a guard
with a German Shepherd. After arriving in Madrid, he nearly made it
through customs, but at the last moment was stopped, searched and
arrested. While in prison, Michaels girlfriend broke up with him. He
eventually married another woman and after his release in 2007,
Michael and his wife moved to Florida.
