MEXICO CITY - A Mexican beauty queen and international pageant winner has been detained by police along with suspected drug traffickers who had assault rifles and cash.
Laura Zuniga, the 23-year-old Miss Sinaloa from the marijuana-producing Mexican state, was held with seven men at a military checkpoint in Guadalajara, police said on Tuesday.
"She is the beauty queen of Sinaloa and was aboard an SUV with the weapons and several of the men," said a police spokesman from western Jalisco state, home to Guadalajara.
The spokesman said police and soldiers at the checkpoint on the outskirts of Mexico's second-biggest city were tipped off that traffickers were moving through the area Monday night.
"No one expected this young woman to be aboard, along with more than a dozen cell phones, lots of cash, pistols, bullets and two rifles," the spokesman said.

Gratitutious Laura Elena Zuñiga Huizar Photo Bump ...
Anyway, according to the newspaper today --- " Her father told reporters in Culiacan, the Sinaloa state capital, that Zuniga told him she was going to a Christmas party.
The jailed beauty queen told police the group was heading for Colombia and Bolivia on "a shopping trip.""
Well, that explains everything :)

Why is it not national news that Mexico is a Cesspool! I am glad this is being posted on Free-Republic and I am on this ping list. As we continue to allow illegal immigration we import the very source of the seeds of our undoing. Most American's don't even know a problem exists in Mexico.
