Someone tried to smuggle 67 pounds of pot inside a casket
If you think Border Patrol isn't going to look inside a casket traveling across the border for fear of seeing a dead body, you're dead wrong.
Wilcox Border Patrol agents had quite the surprise after stopping a hearse that was traveling outside Tucson, Arizona on Saturday. After "several inconsistencies and based on the totality of circumstances," agents called out a canine unit, which alerted the cops that there was an odor of drugs inside the vehicle.
Border Patrol conducted a search, uncovering 67 pounds of killer weed inside the casket. Oh, and a bunch of poop too.
According to the Boarder Patrol, mixed within the bricks of cannabis, there were also several bags of manure, in an attempt to mask the smell of the pot. Clearly, it didn't work.
The drugs were seized and a 28-year-old male U.S. citizen was arrested for smuggling narcotics.
Boarder Patrol claims the pot is worth more than $33,000, but did not provide actual photos of the sticky icky, so it's difficult to determine if that number is accurate. Regardless, 67 pounds is a lot of weed.
