The real life story that inspired the new box office hit 'Cocaine Bear'.
When the trailer for the much-hyped dark comedy “Cocaine Bear” arrived in December, it had many people wondering: Which part of this “based on a true story” film really happened in real life?
The story begins with drug trafficker Andrew Carter Thornton II. Thornton joined the Army in his youth and earned a Purple Heart for his service in the Dominican Republic in the mid-1960s. He was a paratrooper and expert skydiver, which would become very relevant later in his life. But in 1985, Thornton would take his final, infamous flight. The drug trafficker was flying in 400 kilos of cocaine from Columbia when he realized that DEA agents were tracking him and planning to meet his plane when it landed in Kentucky. Instead of facing arrest, Thornton strapped on a parachute and as much cocaine as he could carry, while his bodyguard tossed bags of cocaine out of the plane.
