STERLING, Va. - A close inspection by Customs and Border Protection officers at Dulles International Airport turned up something unexpected. Inside a fully-cooked chicken they found cocaine with an estimated street value of $4,300. The 60.4 grams (2.3 ounces) of coke was found inside two small, clear plastic bags inside the chicken's cavity.
Officers discovered the white powdery substance during a secondary inspection after a flight from El Salvador arrived shortly after midnight Saturday. It tested positive for cocaine.
"CBP officers have seen many unique narcotics concealment methods, and they all present the same challenges to discover them. Our officers' inspection was very thorough and earned solid results," said Christopher Hess, Customs and Border Protection director for the Port of Washington.
The drugs and traveler, Wagner Mauricio Linares Aragon, 32, of Guatemala, were turned over to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police. Customs also issued a detainer for Linares Aragon.
What terrible men.
What I learned from this incident is that if you bring prepared food with you through customs, even if you aren’t a drug smuggler...expect your food to have been examined in a very intimate way. I’m sure they washed their hands first.
Sounds like what in the poultry industry folks commonly call a “cluck up”.
As in “That there drug mule done clucked up”.
You wouldn’t want to know how Tyson treated his chickens.
Did you hear about the horrible fate that befell this chicken?
You don't say!
Killing chickens in the streets now.
Crack eggs?
Sorry, that's all I got.
