Agents discover pounds of dope concealed in a casket

WILLCOX – Willcox Border Patrol Agents, from the State Route (SR) 80 Immigration Checkpoint near Tombstone, stopped a hearse and found more than 67 pounds of marijuana concealed in a casket.

Early Saturday evening, agents working near the immigration checkpoint noticed a white hearse travelling north of Tombstone. Upon further investigation of the hearse, agents conducted an immigration vehicle stop at the intersection of Highway 90 and Highway 82. After several inconsistencies and based on the totality of the circumstances, a Border Patrol canine unit was requested and alerted to an odor it was trained to detect emitting from the hearse. A subsequent search of the hearse led agents to unload the casket, revealing multiple bricks of marijuana concealed within the casket worth over $33K. Also mixed within the bricks were several bags of manure in an attempt to mask the odor of the marijuana.

The hearse and drugs were seized and the driver, a 28-year-old male United States citizen, was arrested for narcotics smuggling and is being processed per Tucson Sector guidelines for contraband smuggling,

They HAD to throw that “US citizen” part in there, just to step on Trump’s toes.

Saw that in one of the Bad Boy movies. I thought weed was growing everywhere and making it legal would stop the drug lord runs. Unless, it’s a cheaper or better product.

Most likely the cheap grass that only Mexicans smoke nowadays.

I heard some even go out of the way to find it because American grass is too strong

Some of my ancestors were buried with their favorite things, too.

Imported...
Ingested...
Digested...
Deposited..into the appropriate size for a FAT fatty.

My momma talka to me try to tell me how to live
But I don’t listen to her cause my head is like a sieve!

Daddy he disowned me cause I wear my sisters clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose!

The basketball coach done kicked me off the team
For wearing high heeled sneakers and acting like a queen!

The worlds coming to an end
I don’t even care!
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair!
