The deputies noted that the illegal drugs' street value would equal a total of $7.5 million. At the time, the deputies showed off the cocaine, and the drug agents said their initial assessment showed that the cocaine was intended for somewhere along the coast of Florida, but it ended up in the ocean.

The sheriff's office said a member of a company that rescues sea turtles in the area found the first package of cocaine. The rescuer said she came across what she described as a trash-like bag on Crescent Beach, and when she opened it, she saw a bunch of little bags inside.

She then brought the package to the Crescent Beach substation of the Sheriff's Office, who confirmed the bags contained cocaine.
