I wouldn’t go this route but you have to respect the hustle of Pa Lor and Tia Yang. The two enterprising women from Minnesota hatched a plan that they thought would bring in some extra cash, instead they’re being indicted.
The ladies have been charged with one count of conspiracy to smuggle wildlife and one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute anabolic steroids. The court papers lay out their plan:
The indictment alleges that from October 2005 to August 2006, the Yang and Lor conspired to bring wild animals into the U.S. for sale and offer wildlife for sale at a booth at the International Marketplace in St. Paul.
Asian elephant, giant squirrel, leopard cat, mongoose, flying squirrel, black-striped weasel, gibbon, leaf monkey, monitor lizard, tapir, slider turtles and small-clawed otter…to name a few.
The indictment also alleges that from October 2005 to August 2006 the two women conspired to distribute and possess with intent to distribute approximately 184 units of a substance containing a detectable amount of anabolic steroids.
I thought the Pizza Hut-Taco Bell by my crib was a weird combination, but these chicks took it to another level with wild animals and anabolic steroids. If Michael Jackson played baseball I could understand it, but since he doesn’t, who were they targeting? And how does it work?
“Can I interest you in this giant squirrel? No? How bout some ‘roids for the kids?”
