Timeline
The 2018 film The Mule is based on Sharp's life, with Clint Eastwood playing "Earl Stone" (based on Sharp) and Bradley Cooper playing "Colin Bates" (based on DEA agent Jeff Moore).
Sharp died of natural causes on December 12, 2016, in Michigan at the age of 92. He is buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu.
Sharp was allowed to speak at his sentencing hearing before Judge Edmunds. He addressed the judge, "I’m really heartbroken I did what I did, but it’s done." In an effort to avoid prison, Sharp made a plea: instead of a custodial sentence he proposed paying the $500,000 penalty he owed the government by growing Hawaiian papayas. "It’s so sweet and delicious," he told the court. The court declined the offer and sentenced Sharp to three years in prison. His defense stated that Sharp had dementia, and would do poorly in prison. Sharp was released in 2015 due to declining health after only serving a year in prison.
Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Jeff Moore arrested Sharp in 2011 and was interviewed by The New York Times writer Sam Dolnick regarding the investigation into the world's oldest drug mule.
In October 2011, while in possession of 200 kilograms (440 lb) of cocaine, then 87-year-old Sharp was arrested by Trooper Craig Ziecina from the Michigan State Police during a coordinated arrest operation led by the DEA. His arrest was captured on the dashboard camera of the Michigan State Police cruiser and published in the New York Times.
Sharp gained popularity for producing relatively small flowers with vibrant colors. His most popular creation was the Ojo Poco, a 2+1⁄2-inch (64 mm) apricot-colored flower with a red bull’s-eye at the center that he introduced in 1994. "Anyone who has over 100 daylilies in their garden would recognize it by sight," Kevin P. Walek, a former president of the American Hemerocallis Society said. The daylily Hemerocallis 'Siloam Leo Sharp' is named after him.
Leo Earl Sharp Sr. (May 7, 1924 – December 12, 2016), also known as El Tata, was an American World War II veteran, horticulturist, and drug courier for a branch of the Sinaloa Cartel.
