“A man who used $20,000 in cash to charter a private plane from Nashville to California was arrested on money laundering charges after an airport police dog smelled narcotics on $153,000 stuffed into his suitcase, according to a police affidavit released Tuesday. Conor Guckian, 33, was arrested in Nashville on Monday after airport police were alerted to a ‘suspicious individual’ using the large sum of cash to charter the plane to California, according to the affidavit. Guckian told officers he was transporting the large sum in order to buy gold in California, according to the affidavit.”
