Columbus- Federal investigators say three brothers from Belize shipped cocaine from Mexico to the United States using dozens of young men and women who stuffed drug packets into their shoes.

As the perpetrators got bolder, the shoes got bigger.

"They have young girls with size 13 shoes who could barely walk in them, and it drew attention," said Robyn Jones Hahnert, an assistant U.S. attorney.

One of the brothers, Duane Seawell, will be sentenced today in federal court in Columbus after pleading guilty in July to money laundering and two counts of shipping cocaine into the United States.
