CBS 5) It was the ultimate bad hair day for a would-be drug smuggler.
Investigators say a bad toupe tipped them off to more than $100,000 worth of heroin hidden underneath -- superglued to the man's head.
Customs and border protection officers say the man, arriving on a flight from Columbia, glued 40 packets of heroin to his head.
"Because he used superglue, they took him to a medical facility to have it removed," said Officer Jennifer Conners. "Even at that, it pulled out the hair wherever they removed a package, so he ended up looking like a spotted cat."
Agents said they knew something was up because it was strange to see a 19-year-old wearing a toupe, and he was acting very nervous.

Investigators say a bad toupe tipped them off Is there such a thing as a 'good' toupe? A 'good' comb-over?

It's not his! He didn't know it was there! The baggage handlers planted it!
Hey, that's Schapelle Corby's excuse. It might work for him.
