I don't know about you, but I love my spicy peppers. Just love 'em.
But I don't love them this much:
US Border Patrol agents seized more than 2,000 pounds of methamphetamine worth $19 million hidden in a shipment of jalapeños and cucumbers at the southern border Tuesday night, authorities said.
Agents made the bust — which also included more than $140,000 worth of heroin among the veggies — after drug dogs alerted inspectors to possible narcotics inside a tractor-trailer at the Pharr International Bridge, which crosses into Texas, according to US Customs and Border Protection.
You're reading that right: It was almost $20 million in meth. And it was a lot of meth:
You'd love to see the drug-sniffing dogs when they detected that bust!
Border agents ultimately confiscated 8,206 packages of methamphetamine and 26 packages of heroin.
And that wasn't all — the cops got two more busts on that day alone:
In the first, K-9 units alerted inspectors to possible narcotics hidden in a pickup truck operated by a Mexican citizen with a permanent residency in the US.
The truck turned out to be riddled with meth, with 92 packages hidden in the spare tire, tailgate, and speakers.
Later that day, agents caught a 65-year-old woman trying to drive across the border with four pounds of meth strapped around her torso.
Thank the Lord for good border agents keeping this poison out of our country!
