New Jersey's 72-year-old drug smuggler sentenced

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - July 8, 2010

Fabio Garcia admits more than $100,000 worth of heroin went through his Egg Harbor Township home after it was smuggled from Colombia inside motorcycle parts.

He would repackage it and put it inside a small vacuum for delivery throughout Atlantic County and New York.

Authorities say Garcia, who was sentenced Wednesday, used $25,000 from his drug business to bail his daughter out of jail on drug charges in New York.

He also used some of the proceeds to pay his mortgage.
