GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (via WOOD TV 8) — Two men face federal drug trafficking charges after getting caught with apparent cocaine at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
Carey Henderson Jones and Eric Montez Pickett are accused of possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy charges.

The agent called in a drug sniffing dog, which was drawn to Jones and Pickett's checked bags when they arrived in metro Grand Rapids. Both men gave permission for the bags to be searched.
