SANDUSKY, Mich. -- Federal agents say marijuana and ecstasy worth at least $1 million was flown to a small Michigan airport from Canada. Two people accused of picking up the drugs in Michigan's Thumb region are in custody. The bust was made Friday night with help from high-tech tools. A border agent followed the suspicious aircraft while flying his Blackhawk helicopter. T.J. Emerick also used night-vision goggles. Agents say two people in a Toyota SUV drove onto the runway at Sandusky City Airport to pick up suitcases full of drugs. Matthew Moody and Jesse Rusenstrom were later captured. The Canadians will appear Monday in federal court in Detroit. Lawyers were not yet assigned.
