Pablo Eskobear is on display in Lexington at KY for KY shop. He was stolen from GA and found at Waylon's house I think.
There's a helluva story after he was dead and stuffed. Meateater had a trivia question on it.

Is this related to the story/book "The bluegrass conspiracy" ?
I believe so. I didn't read the book but I've heard this is what it is about.

Drew Thornton with about 100 pounds of coke strapped to his body when he parachuted out of a plane somewhere close to Knoxville. And he kicked out two or three duffel bags full of coke before he jumped. As I recall, speculation was that his body weight plus the weight of the cocaine was too much for the parachute.

I'm pretty sure I still got the book...I'll have to dig it out.

If the bear would have just stuck to weed, he would have been a good, but Noooooo, he had to go full Monty on the Coke with no possible chance of rehab. Stupid Bear.
