After a raid on his home, six months on Riker’s Island, and two years in prison, Patrice Agrippa has his freedom back. And a whole hell of a lot of questions:

Agrippa was one of 13 people busted in an investigation that smashed a $75 million coke-running ring employing JFK Airport baggage handlers.
