TWO SOLDIERS INDICTED IN DRUG SMUGGLING

Two Army sergeants and seven Colombians were behind bars today, charged with stuffing cocaine into duffel bags and using military mail to smuggle the drugs from Panama to the United States.

The sergeants - Raphiel Fultz and James Earl Worelds - were indicted Wednesday.

The indictment alleges the group made three shipments to the United States, beginning in October with about 9 pounds and ending with an estimated 400-pound load in February.
