DETROIT — An unconscious Canadian man was discovered in the Detroit River with 265 pounds of suspected marijuana connected to him with a tow strap.

The capture by Border Patrol agents occurred early on June 5 near a small island known as Celeron Island. It's the latest twist in the case that began when Glen Mousseau was arrested on May 10 while driving a U-Haul truck in St. Clair County with $97,000, the Associated Press reported.

Mousseau previously told authorities that he had used a submersible to ferry drugs and cash between Michigan and Ontario.

He had agreed to stay at a Flat Rock hotel while the investigation continued, but federal agents said he disappeared on May 22, leaving behind five phones, a laptop and a suit used by divers.

He re-emerged on June 5 when Border Patrol agents pursuing a boat discovered Mousseau in the river with packages of marijuana tethered to him.

His next court date is Tuesday. A judge assigned the public defender’s office to represent Mousseau, the Associated Press reported.
