Cocaine Cowboy indicted in $1.67 million car fraud ring

One of the last remaining “Cocaine Cowboys,” who was more recently known for his art, is in trouble with the feds again.

Michael “Mickey” Munday, 71, and seven other men were indicted Thursday in an elaborate stolen car scheme that prosecutors said earned the group $1.67 million.

Munday, a former pilot for the Medellín and Cali Cartels, spent nearly all of the 1990s in prison for smuggling 10 tons of cocaine from Colombia to Miami.

Arrested were Mark David Johnson, 41, of Fort Lauderdale; David William Wheat, 66, of Fort Pierce; Michael Kennedy Brown, 53, of Delray Beach; James Carrington, 37, of Aurora, Missouri; Jana Kabelova, 41, of Fort Lauderdale; Juan Ottavianelli, 71, of North Miami, and Edwin Fernandes, 50, of North Miami.
