Mickey Munday

Michael "Mickey" Munday (born June 29, 1945) is an American former drug trafficker and former associate of Colombia's Medellin Cartel during the growth phase in cocaine trafficking, 1975–1986. Munday was featured in the 2006 Rakontur documentary, Cocaine Cowboys.[1]

Internationally renowned for his abilities to circumvent law enforcement's efforts to capture and arrest him by boat or airplane during Miami's cocaine epidemic, Munday was often referred to as the "MacGyver" of cocaine smugglers.[2][3]

Now known as "The last surviving Cocaine Cowboy,”[4] Munday makes his living as an actor, writer, speaker and storyteller. His CD Tall Tales is a collection of anecdotes about his days as a smuggler.[5]

In April 2018, a federal judge sentenced Munday to a 12-year prison sentence after he was found guilty on auto fraud-conspiracy charges.[6]
