U.S. Customs and Border Protection Field Operations officers seized more than 56 pounds of marijuana Sunday, worth an estimated $28,000, found in the gas tank of a vehicle attempting to enter the United States through Arizona’s Port of Lukeville.
After finding the drugs in a Ford Expedition selected for a secondary inspection, officers arrested the driver, Christina Rochelle Leifried, 35, a U.S. citizen from Laveen, Arizona.
Officers processed the vehicle and drugs for seizure, and referred Leifried to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
