WESTMORLAND, Calif. \u2013 This morning El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a Lawful Admitted Permanent Resident attempting to smuggle methamphetamine through an immigration checkpoint.<\/p>\n
The 65-year-old man was smuggling approximately 30.28 pounds of methamphetamine with an estimated value of $83,270.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred at about 6:40 a.m., when a white 1986 Ford F-150 pick-up truck approached the Highway 86 immigration checkpoint. The agent in primary inspection referred the vehicle to the secondary inspection due to a pre-primary Border Patrol K-9 alert.<\/p>\n
During secondary inspection, a search of the vehicle was conducted and revealed positive results for narcotics. Agents discovered 30 bundles all wrapped in brown tape located within two toolboxes of a white crystal-like substance.<\/p>\n
The contents inside the packages tested positive for the characteristics of methamphetamine. Agents arrested the driver and held him for further processing.<\/p>\n
The man, vehicle, and narcotics were later turned over to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
