Agents working the primary inspection lane referred the driver of a Chrysler Pacifica for a secondary inspection after a Border Patrol canine alerted to an odor it is trained to detect. Agents subsequently discovered dozens of small, plastic-wrapped marijuana bundles concealed throughout the vehicle’s interior.
Agents seized the vehicle and charged the driver for drug smuggling. She will remain in custody pending a disposition in her case. The marijuana, weighing almost 118 pounds, was also seized and taken to the Willcox Station for processing.
