“We appreciate the ongoing support from our boating community. Thanks to the efforts of this Good Samaritan, 70 pounds of cocaine are in federal custody and off our streets. We encourage the community to immediately report suspicious activity to local authorities,” Assistant Chief Patrol Agent Adam Hoffner said.

Before she was mayor, Castor was served 31 years in the Tampa Police Department.

According to her website, she served "in nearly every capacity and in nearly every neighborhood of the city." She also became Tampa's first female police chief in 2009.
