He met Angel Sanchez, one of the Cali Cartel’s leaders, in 1981 and delivered his first shipment of cocaine to the US the following year. After becoming a trusted ally, Blackledge was introduced in 1986 to Allan ‘The Weasel’ Ross — boss of the West End Gang. Blackledge negotiated for the Montreal group to buy large shipments of cocaine from Sanchez twice a week. The Weasel introduced Blackledge to the Hell’s Angels and used his Colombian links to connect the bikers with cocaine. RCMP believed they finally had Blackledge in their sights in 1991 when The Weasel was caught trying to smuggle ten tons of cocaine in Florida. Blackledge dodged them. Fake identities included Bill Brenstein, Bill Souper and Bobby Blackledge. |  Allan ‘The Weasel’ Ross |
