These two guys were smuggling the cocaine into Canada in some kind of Piper twin (can anyone tell from the photo?). They planned to fly non-stop from the Bahamas fuel stop to Windsor, Ontario (near Detroit), but had to make a precautionary landing in Ohio because of "mechanical trouble":

They must have been pretty strongly motivated not to land in the US, where CBP was bound to take a close look at the cargo when they showed up without an eAPIS authorisation and pre-arranged customs meet—it would be more than just get-home-itis. I'd love to see this story from the pilot's perspective in "I learned about flying from that" or similar.
