Customs and Border Protection officers arrested a Mexican national Wednesday for an alleged attempt to smuggle nearly 300 pounds of marijuana through the Raul Hector Castro Port of Entry in Douglas, Arizona.
Officers arrested the man, from Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico, after a CBP narcotics-detection canine led officers to find approximately $150,000 worth of marijuana hidden throughout her Ford SUV, including the vehicle’s roof.
Officers seized the drugs and vehicle, and turned the subject over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
