NEW: $45 million worth of cocaine seized after an underground tunnel between Mexico and San Diego, CA was discovered under a Buy 4 Less store.
Investigators say they surveilled the store for months after noticing how little customer foot traffic it had.
Authorities found a nearly 2000-foot-long tunnel that was 55 feet deep and 4.5 feet high with electricity and ventilation.
2270 pounds of coke was seized from the store, and four people were arrested.
Gregorio Epifanio Hernandez Lopez, 29, Jose Jimenez, 32, Antonio Cortez, 18, and Brandon Escalante Sandoval, 26, were arrested.
They all face a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $10 million fine.
"They thought they saw the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, what they saw were our lights and sirens," said U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon.
GSP says he lives by something called the 24 hour rule: 8 sleep. 8 work. 8 for the people you love
"There are 24 hours in a day. I learned you need to separate your day into three parts: 8 hours sleep, 8 hours work, 8 hours for the people you love"
"Before, I never did this. I was always mixing everything up, eating with my family while I was on the phone, bringing my training problems home, bringing my home problems to the gym. The stress took over. I didn't have time to sleep"
"A friend taught me to compartmentalize, one part doesn't flow into the other. Of course sometimes work takes more and sleep less, but generally you need the time off. Otherwise you'll eventually go crazy"
"When I started doing this, it changed everything. It created balance"
WEMBY JUST DROPPED A BAR:
"The lack of experience is a strength of us...because we could do impossible stuff because we don't know it's impossible" 🥶

Some months ago, the @WWE lost one of its beloved crew members. This week marked our first international tour without Davey and the first with his son Henry in “his seat.”
I saw Henry when I arrived at #WWEClash and was greeted in the same way his dad hundreds of times before.
On what would have been his 64th birthday, I’m thinking of Davey, Henry, and their entire family. I’m grateful to work with all the unbelievably talented men and women who make our company what it is - and who deliver each and every night, in every city around the globe.
Plans released for a $16 billion mile-long ship capable of carrying 80,000 people.
The 'Freedom Ship' would be home to about 50,000 people, with space for 10,000 tourists and 20,000 crew members.
"The Freedom Ship is envisioned as a permanently mobile city at sea designed for long-term residence rather than short-term travel," the company says.
The ship would be about 8 times the size of the current largest ship in the world, the Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas.
The plans include a 15,000-seat stadium, schools, colleges, shops, clubs, a water park, a music hall, museums, parks, and more.
The ship, which would run on nuclear, would be too large to dock and would remain in international waters.
Freedom Cruise International says it would go around the world every two to three years.
Insane.
On this day in 1999...
Sean Elliott (22 PTS, 8-10 FGM, 6-7 3PM) tiptoed the sideline and nailed this game-winning 3-pointer with 9 seconds left in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
The Spurs would go on to win their first NBA championship in franchise history 🏆
This year's matchup will be a rematch of the 1999 NBA Finals with Game 1 tipping off at 8:30pm/et on ABC!
The last time the Spurs faced the Knicks in the NBA Finals was in 1999.
The Spurs won in five, led by a 22 year old Tim Duncan.
27 years later, San Antonio will face the Knicks in the NBA Finals, led by a 22 year old Victor Wembanyama.
Will history repeat itself? 👀
