Septuagenarian Caught with $3 Million Worth of Meth

 

LAREDO, TX—U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations (OFO) officers at the Juarez-Lincoln Bridge seized methamphetamine that totaled over $3.3 million in street value.

“Methamphetamine abuse is a significant public health concern throughout the country,” said Acting Port Director Andrew Douglas, Laredo Port of Entry. “Through vigorous enforcement efforts, CBP will continue to intercept this hard narcotic and prevent it from reaching our communities.”

The seizure occurred on Sunday, August 23rd after a CBP officer referred a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 for a secondary inspection. The vehicle was driven by a 72-year-old male U.S. citizen traveling from Mexico. Following a canine and non-intrusive imaging system inspection, CBP officers discovered a total of 168.08 pounds of alleged methamphetamine within the subject’s belongings. 

The narcotics have an estimated street value of $3,361,574.

CBP officers seized the narcotics and vehicle. The driver was arrested and the case was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) special agents for further investigation.

The "Why" question first:
Why do people insist on using Meth? It's poison! Now for the "How" question:
How in the name of God's green earth can the Border patrol keep this poison out of America and the American people if our own citizensare trying to smuggle in Meth (poison) ? Its totally unacceptable and the U.S. citizens that try to smuggle this poison into the United States should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. Scandalous ... just scandalous!

Meth heads usually aren't "casual users" who unwind with a loaded glass pipe, after a hard day's work. They make their problem, everyone else's problem. Most of these problems involve property crimes against innocent people, and for that, they, themselves deserve the death penalty.

On a much lighter note, how about the son of Mr. "Moral Majority", Jerry Falwell Jr., just a few years after praying and paying the pornographic selfies away, being exposed as a participant in a quintessential cuckold porn plot for the past 8 years, with his wife and a pool boy?

Pay no attention to the sanctimonious Bible banger behind the curtain -- he just ''likes to watch''.
