                                             USBP Seizes Nearly 40 Pounds of Cocaine

TUCSON, Ariz. – Nogales Station Border Patrol agents arrested a 53-year-old Nogales man Sunday morning after finding nearly 40 pounds of cocaine in his vehicle during an immigration inspection at the Interstate 19 Immigration Checkpoint.

40 pounds of cocaine seized from inside a vehicle at Interstate 19 Immigration Checkpoint 40 pounds of cocaine seized from inside a vehicle at Interstate 19 Immigration Checkpoint.

The man was referred for a secondary inspection after a U.S. Border Patrol canine alerted to an odor it is trained to detect. Agents subsequently discovered 16 packages of cocaine, weighing nearly 40 pounds combined, hidden within the Honda Accord’s rear quarter panels and driver’s-side back door.

Agents arrested and charged the driver for drug smuggling. The drugs, worth approximately $435,000, and vehicle were seized and turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
On Oct. 12, Border agents arrested three people, including two U.S. citizens, for attempting to smuggle meth in Nogales.
A 18-year-old Nogales man was sent for additional screening when an agency canine alerted to an odor coming from the Dodge Ram. Agents found 53 packages of meth worth $175,260.
Agents later found nearly 90 pounds of meth hidden in the vehicle of a 26-year-old Mexican woman and 22-year-old Rio Rico woman. The drugs were valued at $271,140. 

Federal law allows agents to charge individuals by complaint, a method that allows the filing of charges for criminal activity without inferring guilt. An individual is presumed innocent unless and until competent evidence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials welcome assistance from the community. Individuals can report suspicious activity to the Border Patrol and remain anonymous by calling 1-877-872-7435 toll free. Reporting illicit activity could result in saving someone’s life.

Jesús Samuel ¨N¨, 50 years of age, the detainee was identified today; after inspecting the contents of the package that was thrown moments before, a green and dry grass , ie marijuana was found.
