According to Monroe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Adam Linhardt, the snorkeler, who was swimming near Mile Marker 72, notified the Sheriff’s Office about the bale around 1:50 p.m.

The bricks weighed a total of 68 pounds, Linhardt said.

According to the U.S. Border Patrol, the drugs are valued at more than $1.5 million.
