A survivor of a plane crash off the Florida coast earlier this week has been arrested and charged with cocaine smuggling, according to authorities.

The individual was a passenger aboard an aircraft that went down in ocean waters near Florida. Emergency responders conducted a rescue operation following the crash.

Following the rescue, law enforcement arrested the passenger on charges related to cocaine smuggling. The timing of the arrest in relation to the crash incident was not immediately specified.

Details about the crash itself, including the number of people aboard, the aircraft type, and the specific circumstances that led to the ocean impact, were not provided in available reports. The investigation into both the crash and the drug charges appears to be ongoing.
